Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

[318willrun]

My offer still stands. Free dyno session for the 440. We can run the Wallace calculator when we are done and enter that as my guess on your et.

I would love to do that! I wish you were closer. Thanks!

If I'm the only one who interpreted it that way then I apologize for misunderstanding you.

You are not the only one. The guys who run a dyno or guts like TT5.9 who have been doing dyno testing for years and decades and know what the dyno is and what it can and can’t do all understood it just like you.

 

[Newbomb Turk]

No need to apologize, we're good Obviously, you aren't the only one either. Here is a bad analogy, but It's like if a person says "I don't use valvoline"... people will say "he hates valvoline." Which he didn't say that, he just may prefer GTX.

Not even the same Tim.

Like I said, bad analogy

I only play an engine builder on tv. I did stay at a motel 6 once.

Like I said, bad analogy LOL. In the meantime, I still wait for somebody to give me a Dyno engine where the mile per hour at the track matched the HP. I haven’t seen it all and I don’t know at all so just because I ask doesn’t mean it didn’t happen cause I’m sure it has. Just waiting.

Ive been open with a bunch of info on my D100 and the engine that is in it. It’s all in my thread and/or on FABO somewhere. I think it ran very close to what it should for the hp measured both on the chassis dyno and on the engine dyno. It’s one of a few vehicles here that now has data from all three sources. Track, chassis, and engine dyno, not many do. And Wallace isn’t too far off.

Maybe I’ll add a shirt to my merch. “ I don’t race Dyno sheets” LoL

Maybe this will help. The Dyno is great for setting the tune, selecting parts, breaking in the engine, and great for setting an expectation. Keyword: expectation. It doesn’t mean this is what’s showing up at the track.

Nice! So we both have the same experience level!

I'll buy one if you put in small print " I say this because I don't know what a dyno is really for" directly below " I don't race dyno sheets" Lol

500 hp? at 3500#'s it better be pushing at least 115 and closer to 120mph in the 1/4@ 3500#'s.
