Great to see it's all up and running!!!!
I have to agree with Lou..
These freakin Hypothetical theories and calculations are a bloody wank!!!!
This the sme type of theory used to calulate hp from ETs. It's just total CRAP!!!!!!
If you want to believe it then that is your choice! But don't come into someones thread and start bagging thier results! This is the problem with forums... You get too many people who search the web for stupid ways of predicting power, ETs, Torque... It's all designed to give a "BALL PARK!!!!" Not a accurate reliable figure. It's sure as hell nota ccurate enough to put money on... Come on guys wake up to yourselves and step out into the real world, where things don't stick to thoeries and black and white. There are grey areas and lots of things that cause straight lines to end up very very bent!
Take for instance, heat. You have a think about how heat has an influence on hp at the wheels. Or at teh fly for that matter. Now how do you factor this into your equation? I think that straight line just kinked a little...
Now lets look at drive train loss... What sort of oil is in the box? Is it manual or auto? How worn is the converter, clutch? What condition is the diff in? What about your tailshaft? Is it a one piece or two piece? Is it a supercharger or a turbo? Is your airbox open to the engine bay or is it sucking air from outside? I think a serated steak knife has a straighter edge than your straight line now....
All of those things have an effect on hp. I could go on for pages with more things that effect hp. Ambient temp, engine temp, compression.
If you have concerns how about PMing Lou first then if it's a reasonable concern post it up. Don't just bag out a product you have neither seen or know anything about apart from what you have read...
Sorry for the hijack but I really get fed up with tossas jumping in and giving thier two cents then other potential customers get scared off because they read the writings of unknowledgable and uninformed persons...
In the end we are talking aobut 10 freekin kws.... Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!
