Default Actual TRQ Numbers

Ok, I've been trying to figure this out. I wouldn't even know where to start with the equation. Ran the Comp TA on the Dyno. The RPM Clamp was dropped and broke so the Dyno Operator told me all Torque numbers are at the wheels through the Transmission and axle. Mod List is posted below, what would my actual TRQ numbers be? I was actually a little disappointed with the HP numbers considering the mods I have, I do understand that the numbers are at the wheels. Factoring a 10% lose that would be around 302 HP at the flywheel so I guess that not bad. But this motor is not tired, only has 55k miles on it. I don't think the dyno has and issues seeing as people have run their cars on other dynos and seen similar numbers. Just installed the cam and worked the heads. I am waiting for a Tune to run it on the Dyno again. I hope to see better HP Numbers. Thanks guys.


PS Pull was from 40mph to 95 on Mustang Dyno and before the head work, springs and cam

a little math when you need it, you take displacement in cubic inches * max rpm / 3456 = CFM * 0.069 (vol->mass for turbos, hold that thought) = lb/min (mass in pounds over time in minutes)

ex.
350 X 6000 / 3456 = 616 * 0.069 = 42lb/min = 420 horsepower * .85 (15% drivetrain losses average) = 360RWHP with 100%VE and a max RPM of 6000

The goal is, first match your horsepower and rpm to the displacement. I.e. plug in your CID and multiply whatever RPM you turned and see what the math says. Then, look at the dyno graph (I don't see one posted. You need it) and see how the numbers compare, it will give you an idea of how much "off" the dyno was (mustang dyno reads lower often) and using a little common sense you can figure out your theoretical max and min drivetrain losses.

Once you have the HP curve and compared real vs math, then you can do 1 of 2 things to find real and theory torque.
1. HP = torque * rpm / (33,000 / 2*pi), rearrange it so that you have [torque] on one side, plug in power and rpm until you find the peak manually.
2. or, take a derivative and find where rate of change of torque goes to zero, that would be the peak in theory math. Then, you can do a real world calculation based off the dyno graph for finding max and min real torque.

if you post your displacement and the dyno graph I can help you with all the maths

That's the problem, with the RPM Clamp broke I didn't have an accurate RPM Number, it was based off a MPH Run. That being said it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. Ill also make sure I have a way to log my runs next time so I can see what the engine is doing.

If you know what RPM you peaked at (shift at, end of the graph) you can plug that into the top of the system. Then pick an arbitrary point for the low end (perhaps 2000rpm or so) and connect the dots

The formula to find hp, or tq, one from the other, is: HP / RPM x 5252=TQ. Or TQ x RPM / 5252=HP.

Another way to find around what rpm the motor was at. Find the correct OD of your rear tire, your rear end gear, & enter into a calculator that will show what RPM your motor was at, at what speed.

At the bottom of this page there is a RPM/MPH calc.http://www.andysautosport.com/learni...r/calculators/

Just put it in the gear you dyno in and drive 40mph that's the bottom rpm and the top would be your rev limit if they ran it all the way out. Also using tire size diff ratio and gear ration wile get you pretty close on rpm as the post above says.

Hp =tq*rpm/5252

Can't believe no one said this yet: ***Rule of thumb for drivetrain loss on these cars is 15% for an M6 car and 18% on an A4, that's through a 10 bolt. Add a point or two more for your 12 bolt. Mustang dynos USUALLY run a bit stingy on top of that. Using a 17% loss, you're around 330 at the flywheel, a good 55 hp over stock. That CC305 (not 503) is a mild cam, you gave no details on the heads and that's not out of the ballpark for warmed up LT1 numbers, especially considering it's a Mustang dyno. I bet it would be 30 more at the tire on an average dynojet and besides, LT1s weren't underrated like the LS1s and beyond so you're in the ballpark. Should be quite a good torque curve though which on the street will run harder than the peak HP says it should. More work to do to figure this out completely...if you have the money to spend on the time it will take to do so.

Not sure if I read what your wrote right, but the CC503 cam is part number 07-503-8 Specs are as fallows

RPM Range: 1800 to 5800

Valve Timing: 0.006

Duration: Intake-276 Exhaust-281

Lobe Separation: 112°

Duration @ .050" Lift: Intake-224 Exhaust-230

Intake Centerline: 108°

Valve Lift: Intake-0.503 Exhaust-0.510

Lobe Lift: Intake-0.335 Exhaust-0.34


For the head work ill have to do some major digging around for the flow numbers. They were just lightly worked over...intake runners..etc..etc.. Nothing Major. Maybe comparable to LE1's but I doubt it. I haven't had an opportunity to run it after cam and headwork. Thats coming next.

The Mustang dyno will do rpm from roller calculations, the PIA part is your limited to which gear. With your M6 you would match your 4th gear to dyno rpm, so you do your steady state & power curve's in the fourth. Business as usual.

That's what we were doing our runs in seeing as you want a 1:1 Ratio or Closest to it.
