Quickest 1/4 Mile Time W/ Under 330Rwkw

[rednose]

Who other than nikofgxr6t has gone 123MPH with 310rwkw or less?

Niko, not trying to argue as I am in the same boat, my car made 363rwkw at the Autotech dyno day yet I went 11.0 @ 134.56 MPH at the track.

With that MPH I would be kidding myself thinking I have anything less than 400 rwkw.

With your 123MPH you have at least 330rwkw.

This takes me back to what most people believe, Dyno's are a tuning tool and they all read differently.

This is why racers look at ET and MPH.

Tuff call all round our turbo cars dont work well with power speed calculators but an ok guide mph and weight is where its at ets and 60's refine the calc .

[RynoF6]

^^Yup these two guys are right^^

Na`s and even your supercharged cars build power to near redline where the reach peak power.

The calcs are based on this. Our cars have unreal power down low then plateau somewhat.

Our average power over the rev range is higher thus the calcs giving higher max power reading.

Not arguing either but as I said from what I read on here and what I see at the track I think its normal as I see SIMULAR results. Im on my phone and im in woop woop so cant give many examples but if u check out my topic in the 300 section I ask if anyone knows of a 4LT the makes simular power to me and ran simular times using the zf and someone responded he makes 304rwkw and ran 11.7@121 NO LSD on 235's also in another section I remember reading a few more from memory someone getting 123mph with 314rwkw and a few 118mph with 300 and im pretty sure there was anoth claiming 118mph with 290rwkw I think or did I see that at the track cant remember and im sure theres a few more. AGAIN I make 309rwkw on rajabs dyno and my pb is 11.5@123mph on MT 275 40 17's which I think is simular. Im not a dyno person and to be honest I dont car what it makes on the dyno as I prefer to feel the power and get good results at the track rather than watch it on rollers real racers dont bitch about some reputable dynos as thiefs nor bitch about how much a car is so called really making

[rbjet]

My car only pulled 297rwkw on the dyno yet I ran 118mph so wouldn't that be saying that I'm making over 300?

1/4 time was only 12.4 cos of a sh*tty launch and no practice with the new power.

Sounds like my first run at WSID.

Mine was on Continental Contacts that had only 25% tread left.

[RZR]

this is interesting reading...what kind of power would I be pushing then if I ran a 110mph? (bit slow I know ) can anyone explain a rough conversion?

[Buf-Phoon]

first ever run , 251 rwkw ( APS dyno) 12.6 @ 117 mph

factory 17" dunlops.

Must have been the mighty UniChimp
