Same car, 2 different engines, same DynoJet chassis dyno.


Thats quite interesting in the % drivetrain loss dept actually....

636rwhp/3800 = 864fly to run the no's
60 Foot E.T. : 1.33
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.02
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 112.88
1/4 Mile E.T. : 9.54
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 140
36% loss on the day at the track to rwhp dyno figs

508rwhp/3700 = 650fly to run the no's.
60 Foot E.T. : 1.45
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.56
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 103.58
1/4 Mile E.T. : 10.40
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 129
28% loss per rwhp dyno figs
thats a bit excessive in the loss dept!
perhaps weight is the answer if drivetrain the same?

As I said before I'm not saying my calcs are 100% as only a tool but its worked out pretty much spot on for everything I've ever inputed, but then it would cos I'm after hp no's for the cars I ran and know about all the spec of the motors+ I ran at the same track every time, Santa Pod. 0 elevation....so you just keep changing the hp no. till you get the Actual ET/mph run....working in reverse if you like.

The actual timeslips were...
1.49, 6.62 at 104.1 mph, 10.40 at 129.1 mph
1.32, 6.05 at 112.9 mph, 9.54 at 140.4 mph

The torque converters were different for each motor, but the rest of the driveline is identical. The car gained weight w/ the bigger motor due to adding a rollcage.
The 60' is slow on the 10.40 pass NOT due to spinning...that combo just didn't leave real hard.
