can someone give me their dyno numbers, and engine specs...

But all converters are not created equal. Efficiency can vary greatly. I can say i had the experience once of replacing a cheap converter for a good one. The stall on the good converteran 8- inch was much higher than the chepo 10-inch yet my rpm at the finish line rpm was a couple hundred rpm. I still say numbers dont get it down the track. But what do i know.

 

I PM'd this to a member, so if you read it and it sounds familiar, you know why

Basically, I want to see numbers to justify how much money I am throwing into it, and which dollars give better results.

 

I can understand That. I go to the track Quite a bit so i see what i do but if you dont then thats a good measure.

 

Dynos don't win drag races.

 

EXACTLY! ! !

 

Now for some Drag Strip dyno results.
11.86@113 with a 3200lb car= 340rwhp so says the slide rule dyno.
I know 3 different guys who have dynoed and have gotten within 5hp of the Moroso slide rule findings based on weight and trap speed. You can lear alot with that as well, like if your e.t. is netting a lower hp than your trap speed your lacking something somewere. Ive always wanted to see my engine on a desktop dyno but I dont have acsess.

 

I can attest to killercomets drag calculator thereoy.I have a good friend a race engine builder and we were all sitting around B.S ing and got out the MOROSO slide rule.He has a 1987 Camaro gtda super stocker,he knows the car inside and out,dyno figures,et's with any little change in weather or tires,and that slide rule was always within 5 or less hp and 1 tenth of a second or less.The only thing that i was dissapointed in was that my truck should be running about 4 tenths quicker Also some chassis dyno's have a drag simulation feature that will let you do an actual 1/4 mile run and if it is calibrated properly it is generally very close.

MOROSO was a drag racer so I figure he included data from his real life experiences into that calcalator, along with other sources.
