New Ford 5.0 On The Books
NHRA posted most of the specs for the 2012 Ford 5.0. Anyone have a good compression calculator?

Check the Diamond Pistons website they have a good calculator on their home page.

It's rated at 325 compared to 412 for the GT street car. With a .140 dome and a 50cc combustion chamber I would say it's got plenty of compression.

I just don't understand how they get accepted at that much lower rating than the street version. Makes no sense.

Re: New Ford 5.0 On The Books
Who would build one at 412hp and a 7.33 weight brake? This motor in stock eliminator trim is only going to make 475-525hp max. Compare this motor with a combo like Greg’s 71 350ci/315hp.
Remember there are not the hp gains with new cars like we use to see. A combo like this 302 mustang may only make 75-120hp more going from street to stock eliminator because of better factory parts. While a 1980’s 305 may make 180hp over its factory rating. Terry how can you get a NHRA enhancement if your not a member and don't race??????

Re: New Ford 5.0 On The Books
I got all excited when I read the title of this thread until.............
......I found out that the Coyote Mustang GT is still not allowed in competition.  Those specs are for the CJ.
