Stick Swap: 5.0 Camshaft and Valvetrain Upgrade
|
Stock AOD transmissions (and their torque converters) are the dyno's nemesis. Although they're abbreviated, here are Red Ruby's pre-cam and post-cam numbers and graphs. Crane's PowerMax 2020 produced nice gains between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm where you'll feel them on the street. It's important to note that back in 1993, 5.0 'Stangs made an advertised 205 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel. On the chassis dyno, approximately 18 percent of flywheel power output is lost through the drivetrain, so we're taking this into account, as well as the time and attrition our stock tester has endured. The gains we saw (especially on the torque side) are actually pretty good. View Related Article
