How much power can a N54 make without meth.

Alright so I have apparently sparked a bit of debate on YouTube and would like to clarify something.

How much power can a N54 create without meth.

My answer was basically 350-360whp, which translates to 410-420hp.

With just JB4 and race fuel 370whp, which translate to about 440hp

With full bolt ons, JB4, and race fuel I remember seeing some dynos pulling 400whp.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

FBO + supporting mods (FMIC, DP, Intake, upgraded Charge Pipe & DVs/BOVs) you'll prob see 390-400 hp/ 420-430 tq depending quality of pump gas (good 93) + the tune/boost set up

JB4 plus FBO you should be in the 400 range depending on what pump gas you are running. If 91 probably a little shy of 400rw. If on race gas and FBO you should see north of 400. Also really depends on the dyno as well.

The above are assuming a DynoJet.

You don't need charge pipe or dv/bov if your stock components are holding boost without a problem

I'm getting 370rwhp with Cobb S2+S, no meth on mustang dyno... you convert that to Dynojet and it's about 420rwhp (12% difference). You convert that to crank hp and it's about 490hp.

You don't need them, but you'll want them on there when you're running high boost & pushing the car hard (drag/autocross/excessive highway pulls)....

dont wanna go limp when its your time to shine

Don't know how much power I am making, but I can consistently trap 116-117mph in the 1/4 mile with just Cobb Stage 2+, intercooler and downpipes on pump gas.

I think this all depends on the tuner. I am making significantly more power(thats all I can say about this) without DPs on a Mustang Dyno, so I can imagine what a DynoJet will show.

However, my advantage is that my tune was custom tuned specifically to my vehicle mods and will be retuned again when DPs go on.

Not sure about long term, but for now it has NOT been as issue
