THey call this flash timing when on the dyno. guys use this to bullshit the printout. you are both actually saying kind of the same thing. higher octane prevents detonation which increases horsepower, and with HOT ROD advancing the timing they are compensating for the allowance octane increase will allow in degrees of total timing. More timing without detonation= horsepower.

    True they played with the timing on each run, but if you notice, they started at 31 degrees on each pull and then advanced more from there. So how is it that 31 degrees of advance on 94 octane produced more power than 87 octane on 36 degrees? As well as most of the other tests at 31 degrees?

    With the timing set conservatively at 31 degrees BTDC, the sturdy 360 surpassed the best 87-octane numbers by 2 hp and 5 lb-ft
    100 Octane unleaded we began with the 31-degree setting to maintain consistency and to see if any noteworthy patterns emerged. The dyno video monitor flashed just over 400 hp
    114 Octane we rang up our highest numbers yet at the 31-degree setting.

        Actually it is not the same engine.GT uses aluminum block and dry-sump oiling and a screw type super charger.and it is to expensive.Shelby's engine is iron block aluminum head,four valve and roots type super charger.almost same as the old cobra engine but bored to be 5.4 liters.

          However theres just something about the new Mustang -Shelby edt.- I cant put my finger on it. It could be its Dumb American muscle kick your teeth in power no holds bar badass. No mistake about it the car is all cock & balls. Nothing femine about it...Get outta my way look to it. You wont see soccer mom getting the grocieries with it...unless shes cool - LOL!

              Actually they both use the 5.4l block, just one is aluminum and one isn't. You can't bore and stroke the 4.6l to 5.4l cause there isn't enough clearance between the water jackets and the block skirt. They both use a screw type blower. And both use the same 4v heads. So there really is no reason why it can't produce the same numbers.

                All I need is my gym bag...? =) Plus theirs nothing like hitting the town in convertible on a summer night. The S is a sports bike on 4 wheels.

                I also have a CRV w/AWD 4doors 4seats. Sometimes It still is a pain in the ass not having the seats. Always takin two rides when you meet up with ppl... etc. etc.

                I hope you get the STI. Post the pics when you do.

                    I got my info from motor trend magazine and you are right about bore and stroke.but they there is a huge power production difference between roots and screw type of blower.as I am typing this I am looking at one of my old Muscle Mustangs magazine they did a simple swap on a cobra they took out the stock Eaton blower and installed screw type one and the power jumped to 360hp rear wheels to 475hp to the wheels and couple go fast parts like new chip bigger throttle body and some headers power jumped to mind blowing 708hp to the flywheel.and the engine internally was stock.

                    This the 9/03 issue of the Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords.

                    Article is much more detailed.I just tried to give some short info.

                              ok, it has a sport bike feel? Go drive one for yourself... I dont work for Honda.

                              Heres a few: combination of things is why tight suspention, mostly high 9K RPM redline unlike anything in a std roadster, convertable,etc..blah blah
                              I REALLY dont feel like explaining it. Ho hum....

                              My older bro races motocross has the same car same conclusion.

                                Good, for you two. I just don't see it. It has a steering wheel, It has a chair, it has peddles, oh and it has 4 wheels.
