with an automatic and a good converter, about how much percent loss, i know it might not be the same for all but i'm going to check some stuff out since the cars not hurt and ready to go.
thanks

My last combination showed 23% loss based on the math from the engine dyno to the chassis dyno rear wheel HP Traction and wheel spin can laed to false readings at the rollers as far as RPM and true output The thing to remember about all types of dynos is they are a tool to measure changes and the results of changes No two dyno will read exactly the same as each other

Look at peak torque and peak HP RPM in second gear and try shifting it higher and lower to see if it moves the results up or down on the shifts. Also don't forget about water, oil and all the other lubricant temps, cold oils will make less power than hot oils do, especially this time of year Write down all the things you want to try, put the most important once first, also don't move the shifter out of high gear until the motor is idling Trust me on that one, I bent seven exhaust valves by moving the shifter to quick once after letting off of the throttle on a chassis dyno, JUST ONCE So far
