Another thing...say the dyno says 470 hp at 6500 rpm....so we plug 470 hp into the calculator with 3100 lbs car and the calculator says it will run 11.00 @ 119 mph....ok..
we go to the track...it runs 11.40s at 116...oh ****...
what you only looked at was the Hp at peak rpm,,,,the engine is not running at peak rpm all the way down the track...it gotta launch...it is gotta recovery after each shift rather it is two or three shift depending on auto or stick....engine rpm comes down to let say 5000 rpm....not making peak HP there...so if you take your ET or MPH from track plug into calculator...are you getting peak HP or an average HP going down the track????
1st you got a correct hp number...
2nd you got an average hp number from track results....but the dyno said it made 470 hp....welcome to the real world...
