thought it would be best to aleast know what it is pushing out,

before someone buys it.not 100% on the hp's,but every dyno is different i guess.

alittle boost creep,but i'll leave as is.engine felt strangled when the exhaust was necked down

torque wise, the butto-meter does agree with near 4 digit results-almost made a mess of things

over the weekend out the back of hunua

any way of calculating the hp's back from the ft-lb's? not sure

just compared the above results with Gavins a number of months back,

day and night,wonder if its the same car.

not a full noise run as the car had spark blow out.

altho i do remember adjusting the timing but one tooth.either way,its a hand full when the go pedal is mashed

next week we'll visit David and put on the scales

To find out the torque you'll need to know what rpms you were doing at those speeds.

Once you find that out bump it into the equation:

Horsepower x rpm / 5252 = torque

re-arrange for your pleasure

must be a fun car

at 200kph,4th gear,3.07 diff,18" tires

bout 6000rpm.

yes,its fun.sometimes.think i've lost my nerve alittle.

getting older-maybe alittle wiser

if your tyres are 225/40-18"

then its about 5200rpm at 200km/h

divide the torque by the diff ratio that will give you the motor torque

just got back from up north for the weekend,car goes up on TM tonight

if your tyres are 225/40-18"

then its about 5200rpm at 200km/h

if the above is the case,there's plenty left in it with tuning-by the way it drops off round 5000rpm.

divide the torque by the diff ratio that will give you the motor torque

325 odd ft/lb's, okish i guess,more tuning...cheers
