I'm shooting for 340whp, which would translate to about 420 at the crank and there is no way my bolt-ons are going to add 110hp at the crank. We will just have to see.


340 at the wheels does not translate to 420 at the crank

I put this together a couple of weeks ago.

It will explain everything.

Note: A mild amount of cursing. I wouldn't consider "work safe" though. No nudity, or the like.

LMFAO. You Sir, Rock. It's so realistic but that could never be a real conversation because everyone knows everything about Ls1's

Okay, maybe my math is off, what would it equal then? It's a 20% power loss through an a4 right? so 420 at the crank would equal 336 at the wheels roughly so 340 would be more like 425-430 at the crank. So it's a little more than I said originally but that's not the point.

you cant get a real number at the wheels anyway. an unlocked torque converter skews the numbers. lock your factory converter and its liable to take a ****. autos are drag kings not dyno queens.
