I know it is a hell of a lot faster than stock because I drove and raced my friends stock FRC. 418 is a pretty random number to just bs though, so I will see if I can get a hold of his dyno sheet, or just dyno it myself...
but thanks for your thoughts, I did ask for em
Anyway I may mess with it a little more here...work on lettering and stuff. God I love Photoshop

The picture is nice, I was just offering you my insight. Also dyno testing is done at the rear wheels.. the only way crank numbers are done is at an engine lab, like at Gm's test lab.
Anyone who quotes dyno numbers, they are RWH RWT data.
You can calculate crank numbers but they do not measure the actual drive line lose per vehilcle. so it is just an estimate.
I have seen drive line loss studies done and they can vary from car to car . Ive seen 17/18/19 % DLL.
Anyway welcome to the forum... If you want honest and concise information, without sugar coating, you can always PM me... I dont deal in Bullsh|t. The only reason I even mentioned anything is because you asked for it
Ive seen every scenerio possible with these LS/Xengines .

CS2 allows is a RAW converter... allows you to shoot raw images and convert them... it is head and shoulders above any other Photoshop offering.. I had ver 7 of photoshop and before that had 6 and 5 . I think I started with 3.0
