Yes. The nitrous was on. And yes I have chassis dyno data with nitrous. It was activated very late in the run on that pass and I would say had little influence because my controller was not working how it should have been. Also, as slowly as I had to roll in to the throttle in first gear, to save the 8-1/4 peg leg diff I’d say it’s a wash. It’s all bench racing anyway really.
So the Dyno says gross hp of 500 hp and Wallace says gross hp of 375, obviously Wallace is wrong. If you took his engine out and ran it on any reasonable dyno as is no way it will only dyno around 375 hp.
I disagree with everything in this post. Merry Christmas my friend !!
That's your right too, Merry Christmas
When calculating horsepower, I don’t care about ET. I care about the MPH. MPH shows the horsepower. ET just shows how well the car hooked, how right the converter is, the gears and how hard the car 60 foot. Prime example is stock eliminator. They often run a much better ET than the MPH would indicate.
Ok, I think you get what I am saying. Should have said some random MPH
I think we were pretty clear in previous posts and in my video that if you go extreme in something, such as tractor gears, the mile per hour isn’t going to reflect the horsepower. The same would be as if somebody spun their tire one legging it to the thousand foot mark. Kind of like if we use the extreme example of pulling 3 spark plugs out of the engine on the dyno and then trying it. kind of just fruitless.
My garden tractor has 17 hp and only does about 5 mph. That doesn’t make the wallace calculator incorrect
Fat chance of THAT. lol
I thought the same thing, so I just took it out of my post just now. Lol.
Why? You were right. lol
What if I had 110 hp, in a 4000 pound New Yorker, but a tornado with 350 mph winds hit right behind me and shove me through the quarter at 175 mile an hour, what would Wallace say then???
lol Just as wild as some of the what ifs already posted.What if I had 110 hp, in a 4000 pound New Yorker, but a tornado with 350 mph winds hit right behind me and shove me through the quarter at 175 mile an hour, what would Wallace say then???
How much horsepower did he lose? And what is wrong with the truck??? Wallace says I have 344 horse. But my truck is heavier than Joe’s. So maybe Wallace is wrong on mine and I really have 470 hp. My argument is more solid than yours above. Because Joe and I are racing identical trucks, except his is lighter than mine, a short bed. We almost have identical gearing, same transmission, he would have a little better torque converter than I, cutting the same wind, so I could argue that mine has 470 hp by your reasoning and be more correct. So let me write the book right now for the cheapest, simplest, 470 hp 360 on earth.
Does Wallace account for transmission type, traction, duration of optimum torque during the pass based on stall and shift points?
Duration of optimal torque, and shift points?? Yes! Wallace accounts for how much fuel is in your tank, and where the tank is located, if you even had pepperoni on your pizza!
I call B.S. on the pizza! Otherwise, merry Christmas!
