LOL dyno is a dyno...

You guys are comparing an M6 to a large stalled A4..

ODA rips his ***... I give it to him even from a roll with towers on the 100 shot and Oda on motor.

My car made 370Rwhp and nobody believed me after we raced.

Dyno means ****.

That Dyno is off. In most cases yes Dyno numbers mean nothing but to be off that much something doesn't add up. If it was 30-50 HP I would say OK but 100+HP is crazy. Even a simple drag calculation will come within 20-40 HP of what a car is making at the wheels with trap speed and weight. In my experience the numbers come damn close to actual performance results. Unless that shot of nitrous was not used on the Dyno run......jk

Well I trapped 129-130.xx last time at the track with 426 rwhp. It did it 9 times that day and trapped 129 once the previous time at the track. I considered it a fluke.....but if you did 129 with 3500lb then I should be able to do 129-130 the 426whp and 300lb less......right???

What does your car usually trap? I find this **** strange sometimes...lol

I only did 375-380RwhpRwhp and weighed 3500#s... I have no doubt it would have hit 119mph the way it sat before it spun a bearing.
All the calculators said IIRC I should be making 430+Rwhp minimum.

The truth about the dynoe #'s are the transmission was slipping due to low tranny fluid. So it did only make 450rwhp but if we run it again i'm sure it would be different. Geoff told me to come back and he would redynoe the car. The dynoe sheet maxed out at about 105-110mph just to give you a range of how much it was slipping. With the 4.11 rear gearthe car will top out at 135mph. So yea the car is making a bit more power than that plus I have a th350 with a 5000 stall converter and a strange 12bolt rearend with the 4.11 gear.

yea but your and M6 car with weight reduction. You should run more mph. If I were a M6 car then I would run 132-133mph or more. You say you ran a 11.16@126mph in your sig.
As far as what my car normally runs this was the first time out at the track with a new motor so im sure I will get more out of it once the motor loosens up some.. It might drop to a 10.1X or 10.0X at 132-133mph on the motor. I haven't sprayed the car at all. All runs are on the motor..

I'm assuming you're an LS3 car or bigger cubes like 400+ with these types of numbers at your weight?

5000 stall? Good God man!
Well set up car but I bet it sucks on the highway doing 70mph @ 3500rpm. If your running those numbers with that HP then I should be in the 9s no problem with my new setup. LOL

According to your signature, you should have no problem beating him.

Yea but like I said the dynoe #'s were reading off due to the tranny slipping. So the car is making a bit more power than that.. yea it does suck driving it on the highway but it's not a dd car so it doesn't bother me to much.. I need to change the rear gear to a 3.73 vs the 4.11 thats in it now. This should help out at the track and on the hwy..


You wana trade even swap for your Chevelle? That is the car that I really want and it wont be a race car either..

You'd **** yourself to see that my friend with an SRT-4 made 500whp on a Dyno and trapped 140mph full weight.

Seriously, all he said was he dyno'ed at 450whp. He didn't state brand of dyno, what correction was used (if any), what the conditions were, etc etc. How can you make such an assumption off of very vague information?

How would the 3.73s benefit you over the 4.11s?

And why are you trying to run me on motor? lol

My point was in general Dyno numbers are within the tolerances I gave for performance. Temp, humidity, etc all change off the Dyno and there are occasions a car runs much better than it should by the numbers or worse. Car setup comes into play also Trany, gearing, weight transfer, suspension etc.....

You are correct. I assumed that was highest HP number at a given rpm. Do you know what it makes at the flywheel?

If he is going to spray the car the 3.73 will increase the cars MPH potential in the quarter mile. So instead of topping out at 136mph it can go 140+. Also in some cases the Cam/stall setup runs better with a higher rear gear. Not to mention he can drop down to around 3000@ 70mph with a 28" tire.

Thanks for the offer on the trade but I like my car to much. Its not a race car.

Didn't know he was spraying....Figured he was trying to get the best times out of it on motor which is where the 4.11s would be better. But yes if he sprays, he will need more gear. I'm sure his highway MPGs isn't something he's worried about, I'm sure he has a daily lol.
