I wouldn't like those results. That sucks for a V8.

Seeing as its rated at 300BHP, 273 RWHP is an excellent number

It's not that bad, are you kidding?

that's 300 crank HP easily.. much more than a lot of other V8's out there.

a stock 4.7L Dakota will dyno in the 200 range.. it's a reasonably quick truck too.

If you figure 15% loss through the powertrain, that's ~320 BHP.

Me thinks nowadays, powertrain loss is somewhere in the range of 10-12% RWD......or they under rated the motor.
 
F-Bodies have been dynoing higher than that since 98. Mine gets a little under 300 at the rear wheel. GM underrated the LS1 for these cars.

well, aren't truck engine focus on torque than Horsepower?
Toyota's 4.7L on the LX470 and Land Cruiser has like 300hp, and the smaller 4.3L on the LS and SC has more hp.

What is the purpose of this?

If the car moves does running this test prove anything else?

if you are upgrading you get a baseline, figure out what the basline of the motor is.

you then swap a part.

figure out what it adds.

maybe reswap that part with another see what that adds.

etc.

The Mustang is an "affordable" car with a strong V8. Show me any other car that you can buy for the price of a new mustang with 300 HP. 😉

It's good to have the stock numbers so you have a baseline for future mods.
