We had alot of data from the corvette, 10.7-10.8 @ 3100lbs would need 450rwhp. The calculator shows the same number within 5% or so. It was the only one to break down the crank vs horsepower.
2800lbs shows 1100rwhp
3200lbs shows 1258rwhp
7.30 ET needs 1625rwhp @ 3200lbs
We're hoping to see 1800-1900rwhp @ 30# which should be around 2300hp at the crank.

Good luck finishing it up for the track.

Went over the car alittle this morning and checked alot of stuff. We found a problem with the dry sump mount, the aluminum is flexing causing the belt to ride the front of the pulley. I made an adjustable bracket to bolt to the back of the dry sump and the block. THe bracket eliminates the flexing and now the belt rides dead nuts in the center of the pulley. Going to finish it tomorrow/tuesday and than hit the track thursday.

The thing that I'm unsure is do the calculators use RWHP or Crank HP? I used this one with a couple cars that we knew the answers...

Took this morning to get the car ready for some testing on thursday. Weather looks clear and should be mid 70s - density altitude will be under 1000'. We pulled the wastegates apart and picked up some smaller springs to drop the low boost setting so we can really start to use the AMS-1000 to control power for the first 300'. We pulled out the big blue(13psi) and going to throw in some small reds(4.5psi).
- We found a that the drive mandrel had a lose bolt so we pulled them and loctite/retorque'd them.
- Got the wheels cleaned up and checked the brake lines. Everything looks great, there was a drop of fluid on the passenger side brake caliper which could have been from bleeding.
- Added hose clamps on the overflow and the coolant bleed line
- cleaned up the interior
Tomorrow we'll
- Install the passenger seat
- finish cleaning up the interior
- Check the torque on the wheels, rear suspension ect
- Load the car in the hauler!
We're going to a track rental on thrusday. We want to make sure the car hits and goes straight, brakes work, pull the chute a couple times to get acclimated with packing. Since we changed the wastegate springs our low boost setting should be about 4-5psi, we'll start with 3# on the gates and bring in about 10# of CO2. The idea is to make a couple of 60-330' hits and maybe a couple of 1/8 mile passes. We've done as much as we can do to make sure the car is dead nuts on the alignment, if the car goes straight on the first couple passes we may be a soft 1/4 mile pass.
