What do you mean? Wallace isn't measuring horsepower it's calculating horse power under an exact set of perimeters. If your vehicle doesn't run the number how do you know if it is because the hp measured at the dyno is wrong or that you are not operating under the same perimeters that Wallace used to calculate how much power it should have? Or if it is some combination of both the dyno and the perimeters being off.
Yet another scenario. Same motor, same car. Give the car to a novice drag racer and see what the et is. Now turn the car over to a championship winning team and driver and with no changes to the hp of the motor see how much the et is improved. How does the Wallace calculator account for that?
I've actually taken track proven ET 340 and done the truck/duster deal. I can tell you, the truck was slower
It's why I like to throw out the ET when using wallace. Easier to skewer the ET than the MPH
Did the truck and the duster weigh the same?I've actually taken track proven ET 340 and done the truck/duster deal. I can tell you, the truck was slower
no, truck was heavier. But, if you give a tenth per 100, the truck was still too slow.
Does that mean the Wallace calculator is wrong?
The wind will affect the number a little (MPH). But not a 100 hp. And in the 1/8 mile the MPH would be even less of discrepancy
Is wind the only variable unaccounted for? Wind is not a variable on a dyno.
