if i look at the power cal., 116 MPH @ 3700 lbs comes close to around 440 HP
range, fig a 20% loss to the rear wheels, around 352 to the rear wheels
fig with a better 60', you could get down in the 11.6-.8 range
just all based on formula though

I thought most of those calcs give actual horsepower to the wheels and you'd have to add ~20% to get the hp at the crank?

Either way, that's not as much power as I was hoping that engine would make.

This is pretty entertaining. It did 390 rwhp running bad on the dyno already so his calcs are off.

Geez, if your gonna use my car you may as well have all of the data, here is the HP Tuners log and time slip. You can see where I didn't go WOT for the first 3.3 seconds of the run do to running street tires.

Just trying to get a ball park idea of what those mods, and a similar cam (), will make for my buddy that wants to swap in a L92/LQ4 into his car.
