Qtr mile or ENGINE dyno results

^^^^^^ Agree with him

I am a die hard drag racer, I don't go for the number's either.I build a new car, and take what it gives me, then fine tune it from there for constancy. I don't care what E.T. or MPH it's going to run, all though I pretty much know what it is going to run when I build it. I want it consistent. So the chassis dyno is a great place to get tunning close, and find any other issues.The track when racing, is not the place to test.
Our track only has Test and tunes on Friday night.That track is not the track you get on Saturday, nor is the temp's you will see.
Yes, MPH tells you more then E.T. MPH means HP, E.T. just means quick!

Theres two issues here -

1st - does WALLACE quote RW 0r FW HP. ?.Heres a challenge for you - pump in the avge mph and weight of a stock 6.1 LX car of 107 mph @ 4300 lbs and see what HP you get......Im betting it will be the quoted factory Engine hp and nowhere near rwhp. :)

But to be frank - I dont want to argue about calculators - the one I use came in exactly as per my Engine HP using weight/ Mph....so I dont think this debate has a future..... ;)


2nd - By corrupt - I meant that drivetrain losses vary from car to car - so why would I use Rear Wheel HP as a guide on whether my car is down on power?

AS YOU SAY - unless I can get quoted engine dyno HP....Track MPH and weight is my best tool which is why Im asking for examples -

Unfo yours is so damn quick its not a lot of help ! LOL!!
