Fq400, why is it all Australians that seem to have failed mechanical engineering point this out? Why is it all of you continue to believe that the dyno dynamics is the only dyno that is accurate? Is the fact that no drivetrain is a set loss that is progressive (i.e. 15%, 20%, etc.) still not taught in engineering?
The thermal rejection of a transmission losing 200+bhp would be enough to melt it. Just converting 200bhp to BTU yields 8488 btu/min (about like a woodstove burning dry firewood). The actual drivetrain loss is between 65-70bhp with a small percentage adder (less than .01%) thereafter.
Most dynos are far more accurate than a dyno dynamics for representing this. we dont care if its the lowest reading its all about what it does when it gets to the track. Since I dont live in Oz, there is no way for me to even verify that the dynos in use there are really accurate. Having some one "sign off" in shootout mode means nothing to us as we dont use them. I do however know that a car that makes XXX will run YY.YY at ZZZ.ZZmph. Please see sig as a reference, we have ran the same trap speed with 2 AWD cars at that identical weight.
cheers

I have seen a single walbro provide fuel for 489whp ON E85! They are not as bad as people say. Fathouse went 134 or so and 10.3 on a single wally on e85. Go walbro!
