My First Mustang Dark Horse Dragy Times

We got some 60-130 dragy times in the 2024 mustang dark horse! This is my first time using a dragy and I for sure can improve on these times, but I think I am at least faster than the stock manual GT's! I do not even want to see what my 0-60 time would end up being, but quarter mile time is coming soon too!

Good video Brother!!!
I have seen 7 videos on the DH where the carbon filters were removed and immediately placed on the Dyno. Average rwhp gain was 12-17. Lethal Performance is selling better air filters than the ones from K&N that with the removal of the carbon filters plus adding their performance filters revealed 12 - 24 rwhp. Plus if you get Kooks headers I recommend that you pay the $200 to ceramic coat the headers. Plus AWE Catback exhaust keep the active valve control gains another 10 horsepower on the Dark Horse. Steeda did a dyno on Chris Cervenco’s car and adding their H-pipe showed 10+ rwhp on his DH. I seen many videos on the headers adding 30+ rwhp. Doing all that gets you over 500+ rwhp for under $4200 dollars. Steeda H-pipe is ~$300; MBRP Catback is the cheapest at ~$800. Headers are costly about ~$3100 that includes the install labor.
All together my notes show +70 wheel horsepower to take you to a Dark Horse 500+ rwhp daily driver. Plus you are then set to add boost like the new Whipple Stage II 3.0 Gen 6 SC! On 93 pump gas plus Boostang and you easily w/Stage II have 750 minimum rear wheel horsepower Cheers‼️👍👊💪😎🇺🇸

Let me help you out.. Get your oil changed ASAP! Go with Amsoil signature series 5w-30. Have the dealer put on a Ford performance oil filter. Get rid of the carbon traps. Get a Borla Switchfire, trust me. Once you get the oil changed, drive the car progressively harder over a short period of time... The oil has microscopic metal particles that you need to get rid of. Amsoil has an amazing additive package and is superior.

Gotcha, so it’s good these were my hardest pulls so far then lol. Catch cans are for sure a must! I do also love borla, have that on my 99

[@Nick-ue5bp]

Get the ford performance catch cans, they catch a good amount of oil on my 24 GT. Also, I've commented in the past but you're very close to me, I know exactly where you took those photos. We should meet up and compare the GT to the DH. MT82 vs Tremec etc.

[@Freeway_Media]

I didn’t even know ford made catch cans, for sure will be checking those out. And yeah I do need to do a 1 to 1 comparison video some time!

[@user-bk5ey9ws5g]

If your dark horse has the center dash speaker like my s550 has with the BO sound system. The dragys magnet on the back of it will stick to the speakers magnet. No tape or holder necessary

[@Wraith-tu3ri]

That's a good tip I didn't want to stick it to anything. Thanks

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

I suspect Ford made limiter so low, in order to protect the engine against money shifts.

[@davedave2882]

What color is your car? I've also got a dark horse that's vapor blue metallic, it's really hard to seeing pictures what the color really looks like.

[@JUSCRUIZN]

Dark horse is Killa

[@wadeayoub9799]

@FreewayMedia put the AWE - AWE SWITCHPATH EXHAUST FOR S650 FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE - QUAD DIAMOND BLACK TIP on, you get an extra 8 to 10 horsepower along with the aggressive sound.

[@user-ot5yb8lp8j]

I would have bought one of these if they still had the analog cluster. That ipad cluster is an unseller.

[@Freeway_Media]

I think it will grow on you. Analog is great but with cars moving more and more forward this just makes the most sense!

[@sasankaperera6050]

Does it have the handling package ? Any thought if its worth optioning ?

[@Freeway_Media]

I personally don’t think the handling pack is needed. Can always get bigger wheels and tires if you need to. The normal suspension on it is plenty

[@homeownerbuilderservicesll6777]

Mine does and its very much worth it!

[@skyracer1980]

Also, hold the traction control button down and turn off the dynamic traction control, you'll get a little my pepp..

[@Freeway_Media]

Not gunna lie, I’m a little scared to do that but ur right I need to just embrace it at this point

[@skyracer1980]

Also again, UPR catch cans. Both sides.

[@MrCamaro2015]

Pull the intake traps, You wont

[@Rex_Racer]

No need to supercharge- get better at driving first. Even then, for street driving too much power can ruin the joy.

[@tuxon_speed]

Nice video! Got an IG?

[@Freeway_Media]

I do! I don’t post on it too often but need to start for sure
