Just keep adding hp til it matches the mph on your slip.

Be interesting to see what happened with the exhaust opened up.

I’m not sure where you’re going with that........

If you want to get a better idea of how much power is being lost with the motor going from the dyno to the car, you need accurate weather data from when the runs are made, and having the actual track elevation too.

Then correct the runs to a std day at sea level.
The difference between the calculated std day hp and the STP power from the dyno is what is being wasted in the car.

One of the new Wallace calculators takes the drag run data, and weather data...... gives you a net power rating, and a correction factor for STP power(at least, that’s what I think the correction factor is doing).

Since we have all that data for Wades last track outing, it shows:

I have. But you have to look at the whole situation....... da, how good the car is, head wind or not, track prep, etc....... and then there is always the question about how accurate the dyno numbers are.
In decent(but not killer) air, a good stock or super stock car will outrun the Moroso chart..... and often by quite a bit.
(Using the Moroso chart, my friends Stocker has run enough speed show the hp to be 108% of what the STP power was on the dyno. Even racing in Vegas the car shows within 5% of the STP power, and that’s a track with an altitude adjustment factor).

A mediocre street/strip car may have a hard time showing within 15% of the dyno numbers, and a typical half way decent bracket car should be able to get within 10%.
And a car that’s not set up for the track at all might show numbers that are 20-25% low.




One of the cars I've been helping out with this year has gone thru the learning curve from being a mid 10 second car to now a 9.70 car without changing a single part on the engine. The driver has refined his driving and picked up time by getting his launch and shift points correct. The engine made a little over 700 hp on the dyno and the car is around 3500 lbs so it should run 9.70 or so on the Moroso slide rule but it started out in the mid 10's. At first the owner didn't believe the Moroso slide rule numbers and he was questioning the dyno numbers but it all gradually fell into place.

However the dyno didn't have an exhaust system on it, we do, how much is that worth?


And I'd certainly go along with Andy's comments about the driving in our case, we started with 11.3's>10.7's>10.4's

There is a way to answer that question. smoke

Taking the net hp and multiplying it by the correction factor for that run gets you within 30-35hp of your dyno numbers.
I have to believe that “some” of that missing power is being lost with the exhaust system.

Did you try the 1/4 mile version of that calculator to see how the numbers compare?

Well, maybe convertor slippage needs to be figured in as well. That calculator hit my numbers almost dead nuts for MPH. The ET is off a fraction, but that's the chassis. I think it was Dwayne that said my motor should be making 680hp, 675 is pretty close.

If you want to see your hp numbers vaporize, put your car on a Mustang chassis dyno. You will be very disappointed if your looking for good numbers from one of those dyno's. Tuning tool only

I will be getting the T ram with the 750's on it and start tuning this week. Hoping to get back up to mid michigan before they close for the year.

Wade, what are the pro's and con's of using alcohol/E85? I have been thinking about making the switch from race fuel to E85.

Mph looks good!
My blue car ran 135 at 3350. We figured a true 640-645 horse.
New owner got it to 140 mph at 3220. Some nice upgrades were done.. That aligned nicely with the 708 dyno number the motor showed then.

Good running small block for sure. 708 is making some steam.

This was our best mph run, short shifted first he said......Wallace suggests that to get your mph/hp the same @10.47ET it would need to be 130+, how many cars run 130+@10.4's, unless there 60 really sucks, ours was a 1.47 on that which sucks!!, guess the 2mph is in the exhaust?.

A friend of mine bought a used motor Monday, had it on the dyno Wednesday, it’s in the car at the track today.
Motor dynoed at 728hp.

There is also a slight head wind(8-9mph) at the track today.

The Moroso chart shows 665hp for the speed(144), which is within 10%(8.7%) of the dyno numbers.
It shows 695hp for the ET (9.21) which is within 5%.

Wallace shows:

So if you applied the 1.05 correction factor to the Moroso # 695 X 1.05 = 729 ??

The Moroso chart and Wallace don’t agree with each other with how the ET/Speed correlate to each other.

On the Moroso chart the 127.5mph shows an ET very close to what you guys ran.

Well, Wallace shows the HP as 686...... so that x 1.05 is 720. Pretty close.

728hp on the dyno x .955 = 695hp.......only 4.5% off.

It just so happens the correction on the dyno was about 5% too.
