Crank vs. rear wheel
k. i don't wanna seem like a complete a-hole here, but with a 180 RWHP will only
get you around 15.30's @ 90-92mph in a 3300lb car (lighter then average A-body).
Not far off on your claim there a bomb!
My a body charger came in on a weighbridge, at 1480 kilos or
3262 pounds.
Its a manual 318,an on the dyno *every dyno reads different
an should be only used as a tuning tool,not bragging rights*
but on this dyno,it made 200 RWHP.
An my best time on the quarter mile is 14.5, at 93 mph...
So does 280 odd crank hp sound right to you?
Gears were 3.23's.
An ive seen a manual 307 killowatt car,make 262kw at the wheels...
So a loss of around 70 odd hp...
Theres alot of factors that can contribute...
Big converters on an automatic car
(obviously)
can make a quick car look average
on a dyno,as in not produce as much hp as one would think.
Just my 2 pennies haha.
