At the boost level we were at it's making about 1600, and the car weighs a little over 3300 w/driver. Just for the record we bumped up the record a little bit friday night at milan with a 178.48 run, this with less boost than before and a very consevative tune just to get down the slick track! Still toying with boost control and launch boost levels, a 180 pass is coming soon!

Sure isn't much of a loss. Approximately 10% from the number he said.

he said about that much, probably more then what he guessed. I just used an ET/HP calculator to figure out the approximate power, once you get to his level, not to many chassis dynos, or even engine dynos can measure that power.

Very impressive...that car will rip once it's hooked. You have 7 second mph for sure.

The engine dyno number on Steve and Mike's engine was 1550@ about 23psi. Steve was waiting to leave and install it in the car so we never "turned it up" on the dyno as we knew it would perform well in the car.
If you need to dyno a engine, our engine dyno has held 2550HP and our chassis roll is rated at 2000HP, although we have never made more than 1590HP at the wheels yet.

Do you have the Christmas Tree mod for the dyno so I can launch off the transbrake? It wouldn't be real dyno racing without it.
