No doubting it, being a Vette, if it grips, you'll have 9's. Todd Drane running a stalled auto, stock bottom LS7, w/ ported heads and a Torquer 110 cam was running consisted high 9's... His car at that time was putting down 540rwhp... So with that knowledge alone it should be a 9 sec car.

Ok... It's just the way fastest true street cars race...



Is the Texas mile not a racing event either?

But we dont see any timeslips!!!!!, a Dyno is just a tuning tool!!!!, or a BS tool!!!! to the shop that we are the best!!!!, example!!!!! my C6 only has 428 tq and 487 rwhp on the dyno but the et and weight says it has 614.36 Calculate
ET 10.16 Weight 3260
from wallace calculators

my HP is 614.36 computed from your vehicle weight of 3260 pounds and ET of 10.16 seconds.

No you have to have 2 or more participants side by side to be a race starting together at a starting line and a finish line, other then that its just a show of speed

Your torque stays well below mine under the curve and never catches mine, your horsepower stays below mine and never catches mine. I don't know what it will run because I haven't had time to get to the track but I will.

My power doesn't fall off after 6500 either and it makes more than what's listed on the chart but yes, the dyno is a tool.

Not sure why you have turned this thread this way but good luck and enjoy your car

Dude.. No other way to state this.. If you think a dyno number beats a similar powered stalled auto in the quarter mile.. You are a moron or just are real ignorant. Anyone who knows cars.. Or has an opinion worth a grain of salt, knows you are ignorant. There is no comparison!

560 through a stalled 6 speed auto is greater than > 600 rwhp in a manual

Could care less about roll racing or the texas mile.

Millenium Z06

OK, good luck

Yes, it's a tool, and it's showing if/when something isn't right or when a combo is less than efficient.

Ok others care less about the 1/4. As for your thought of your HP greater than mine, we can test that in the real world pretty easily.

I believe I've been more than respectful in my responses, being pompous doesn't look poor on my behalf, just yours.

For example.. Your blackwing only story.. Again, not impressed.. Ran 10 11 sec 1/4 miles with a vararam only with a tune. Toasted a c6 z06 all day with 376 rwhp.. You will see his comments in the thread.

Just tired of the bashing.. Ready to line them up in the 1/4, ... the way I set my car up. I respect people that do the texas mile, but that is like apples to oranges when looking at how my car is setup.. That said, I do have a fat powerband on the topend.. Hope you can ignore me being pompus.. Just tired of ignorant people attacking my build when they have no results of their own other than a "dyno number". Especially the similar powered manuals that think my dyno number is low.. Lmao.. I have a history of yanking those fools.. Cheers!

dennis50nj

I find it very hard to believe that a manual with that kind of power can beat xstang without RobZ or Gary2004Z06

Your numbers are about right. Given 20% loss for an automatic unless you're running a TH400 conversion, you are right at 609 fwhp.

487/.80 = 608.75 fwhp
Your car runs strong I never said it didnt

There are a few drivers that can pull those kinds of 60's. Car usually has to be set up for it. It wouldn't be easy, that's for sure.

Racing dynos is for putz's. You guys do realize the rest of the setup is much more important that 20 measly rwhp. Plus, I hope you also realize dynos are for dialing af ratios and timing, the actual number means jack ****. The parameters can be adjusted so the number is higher to give the customer a warm and fuzzy about his car. I used to help out at a dyno. We'd always laugh at people wanting that stupid number. If they weren't happy, we could tell them we had it set wrong, change the setting and wallah they were happy with 20 more rwhp. Now did their car magically get faster? Nope.

Show me one Cartek cat that doesn't perform amazingly. You think this one will be different with their track record? If so, why?

For the record, I get my work done by local shops; but that's only because the shop I want for certain things are here. If I had other parts; there are shops across the country I would send my stuff to. I send my parts to where I want. I build the car's setup myself. If I didn't though, I wouldn't hesitate to send my car to Cartek if that's what I wanted. Free country and all.

Can't wait to see this car again. Going to be fast af. When you beat people, you can pat them on the back and tell them; at least your dyno is higher.
