whats my HP??? (idea before dyno) ok....with all the mods in the signiture, plus I'm doing a Speck stage 3 clutch/aluminum flywheel, any idea what kind of RWHP I would be running? Once the clutch wears in, I will hit the dyno but looking for a guesstimate.
Thanks
Chris

Re: whats my HP??? (idea before dyno) 420 RWHP....if I'm making that, I can "live" with that (for now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ).
don't M6s get about a 10% drivetrain loss? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
If so: 420 * .90 = 467 HP on the engine
In the not too far off future, I would like to see a good honest 550 HP on the engine (about 500 RWHP). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Thanks guys, <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: whats my HP??? (idea before dyno) Realistically, I would guess in the 428-432 area through those gears, but anything over that is a bonus! Let the exhaust breathe and bring a ported throttle body with you to the dyno session if you have one or could borrow, do a back to back test burning 13.0-13.0 and see what difference there is between the two.. Good luck!
