Joe, too much information. Other than that, wow I think I understand everyone's POV in this thread. Does that mean I'm empathetic?

Preach on fellow hairy-a$$. I agree with you about having the highest HP car out there. What is the point of having XXX HP if you can not even use it. Like Sean's friend that nearly killed himself at the track. Totally built motor and nothing else upgraded. People need to build cars that are balance that lean towards the style of car they want, ie: drag racing, road coarse, whatever.
I think to say Ron's car is a drag car is totally rediculous. If I throw a blower on my car and go with 4.10 in the rear is my car a drag car? That being said, Carlos... for what you are saying Ron has done to his Chevelle that would put you in the road racing category in my mind. You have upgraded brakes, cooling, motor, suspension...blah, blah, blah.

Funny that you mention it. We will be redoing the suspension with stock replacements and the interior looks just like you said. There is only a seat for driving and the dash.

So you removed 200 lbs and added how much for the cage?

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Simply the difference between an objective comparison of a single parameter in a given narrow context vs. comparing and evaluating contexts.

You ask what "you guys" are trying to prove? I don't know who "you guys" are, but I'm assuming I'm part of the "you guys" you were referring to. I wasn't trying to prove anything. I was trying to get you to step up and actually go down the track instead of bench race. I would actually be interested in watching that race.
|
I would be interested in just seeing Cambria go down the track period. Enkei's OP wasn't about racing, just a power estimate. And honestly his point is valid. I think (having been in the car) he's vaguely in the range of 550WHP, that ain't terribly far from 700BHP, which was his original assertion.

As far as your HP numbers, I wasn't crying about the numbers you claimed. I was just pointing out the flaw in the logic you were using. If you want to walk around in fanasyland believing that 1 bar of boost will double your power, hey, go right ahead.
|
It's just a broad rule of thumb that isn't terrible as a starting point. It's NOT a lookup table.

. . . when my car was running 13s @ 111, I tried to figure out how to get my E.T. more in line with my trap speed. I still am working on that now that my trap speed is closer to 120.

You and me both.

That would include adding the cage. I figure I have about 300lbs removed and added 100. |

I would, too. I never argued that his car wasn't making the power he claimed. I was merely pointing out that the formula he was using to calculate it doesn't work.

That may be so, but it sucks as a rule of thumb. There are too many variables. Even if you could somehow run the same AFR and timing, this totally discounts the parasitic drag of the blower, which can be up to 20 - 30%.
And it wasn't represented as a rule of thumb. It was represented as a "fact".
