jerky. did you redyno the car with the right timing? that motor should have 50 more hp than mine on the engine dyno

rich, i hope i have better luck than you with centerforce but i doubt it.

No, I never did get it back on the dyno. My last pulls were in the summer heat and humidity. Also was on 93 octane. I'm never sure what to calculate for driveline loss. Until I get the clutch figured out, it's probably not worth it since it slipping in 4th pretty good. You're running a little bigger cam than me with a lot more lift. Those are awesome numbers you have. I'll be watching to see your chassis numbers. I also think that the single plane intake is superior to my miniram for this application. I'd love to see your DFI tune once you get it in the car. Again...congrats on some righteous numbers

im going sequential with msd dual sync and wideband. hopefully the auto calibration will do most of the work in the ve tables. i will need to fool with spark tables some and maybe pe. i hope its not to hard or should i say time consuming to get dialed in.

i figured my car was getting 15% loss.

my stock clutch held 500 rwhp for a full season, the centerforce better not slip. did you break it in right?

as far as the single plane, i think the m/r is limiting above 500 hp.

I don't buy the % theory, I think it is more of a relatively fixed # for a given drive line setup. Like 30-40HP for a ZF6.

We usually don't get these optys to compare engine and chasis dyno #s!

id love for your fixed loss theory to be right. id make over 500 to the wheels. unfortunatly i dont think that will the case.
