Turbocharged 363 Stroker Engine Build Dyno
Dart SHP 363-NA vs. Turbo (17 psi)
The turbo kit from HP Performance turned our already good normally aspirated Dart SHP stroker into a prodigious power producer. With over 700 lb-ft at 3,600 rpm, this turbo 363 stroker should get the '88 5.0-liter Fox Mustang moving in a serious hurry. This thing really comes on the turbo around 4,500 rpm-check out the serious bulge in the torque curve. The peak numbers checked in at 1,004 hp and 890 lb-ft at 17 psi of boost. Given our gearing, we should be able to keep the motor above 4,500 rpm (shifting at 7,000 rpm) and take full advantage of that sweet spot in the power curve. For street use, we'd naturally select a smaller turbo and turn down the boost (who needs 1,000 hp for the street?), but we will likely start with a 76mm turbo and then step up to something like this 80mm if we need even more View Related Article
