This past weekend, I hosted a dyno day. We had some extra time at the end and since i am about to sell the truck, i decided to see how much power is actually getting to the ground.
Now mind you, this truck has 235,xxx miles on it and the transmission is near done. (O/D doesnt work).
Motor is the 488 (8.0L) V10.
No mods on the truck at all. Just has penzoil 10w30 in it. Cats rattle their buts off and thats about it.
Truck ended up putting down 250.9HP and 346.8ft-lbs of torque on a DynoJet 248c
Here is the graph

 

What's with the 488 in the title?

 

thats the motor number/size. ie 340, 383, etc. the V10 is a 8.0L 488

 

Thats the size of the v10 as in cubic inches

 

those numbers seem about right to you?

 

looks like it would still tow good even with the hight milage

 

oh, it definately does. just the trans is the issue its having. besides having a leaky crank seal up front, motor is great.


Also, we did a top speed pull. 108mph. speedo is 5-6 mph off. read 113ish

 

Ohhh alright. I know the 318 and 360 but never knew what the V10 was. I was expecting that as the HP haha. Is that what they are supposed to put down or is that low? I figured it would probably put down mor ethan my hemi, but I don't even know what the HP rating at the crank is for the V10.

 

those numbers sound about dead on. They are torque monsters. love em.

 

well the factory specs are
HP 310 @4100 RPM
TQ 450 @ 2400 RPM
