Brembo brakes on Marauder!

:woohoo: I got second place of N/A record of 345 RW/HP with a stock block.

If you want to get nit picky, that is about 420 at the crank.

I was told by my tuner that the loss to the wheels is 20%. So 378 rwhp divided by .80 = 472.5 crank hp.

I have 440 rwhp/.80 = 550 crank hp.

I look forward to the challenge.

I have 440 rwhp/.80 = 550 crank hp.

But not NA.

It's not 20% , it's close to 15% but is really more of a relative constant value is what I heard

 

[RubberCtyRauder]

But not NA.

Yours isn't a stock block either so it's sort of apples to oranges. Yours is stroked etc. I hope the goal is met, but there is a difference

Yes, between stroker and s/c, there is a big difference. One ia NA and other is not. This comment is related tot he claim of 440 rwhp - most likely s/c'd.

Fordnut, Motown and the rest involved in the bet are well aware I have a 5.3L Stroker.

 

[RubberCtyRauder]

I meant your block vs stock block, not vs a supercharge one. Difference in yours to stock block. 4.6 vs 5.3 so not a true comparison, still wishing the numbers to be positive

We are cool. But this thread is about Brembo brakes; not rwhp 'mines bigger'.

Sorry, I do not get the joke.

Any updates? Also, what are some good brake upgrades, besides going this far. Thanks!
