Re: GT/KA ? What class?
Adger, I know dyno's are all different, and you'll get different numbers on any given day of the week, but the last time we dyno'd, the shop had an exhaust ventilation problem, and we kept blowing the tubes off the collectors, so we didn't see the numbers that we should have. But what we did see is right at 600 HP, and not to the tires, which would be less. We're still the fastest GTE in the country, and have a ways to go, but come on, if we had 675 HP or more, we'd be running in the low 9's! It just doesn't compute. I made a statement in another thread that I thought we made as much power as any 327 in the country. Maybe I'm way off base. But we must be doing something right to be running 9.73 with our heavy Monte Carlo.
On second thought, the dyno we use is very old. Maybe there's a difference that is not being calculated in the process, and we're not seeing actual numbers. Who knows. I just know we're happy with the power we're making, and it seems to be translating to the track.
