Seeing as how my wife and I are going through the "529C stage" right now (baby due in 2 weeks!), I have done some digging on the topic you mention...
KoenigTR - I cant help but notice from your license plates that you are in the same county as me. Where in Pinellas are you?...
Ill dare (since I am bored at work :D ) and Ill most likely get blasted here...but here goes! I would say that--- Yes...trap speed can be...
Many Hondas rev high and they dont seem to show excessively drivetrain losses in order to get back to the "rated" power. A stock S2000 for...
I like the way you talk! That means my 2.2L Dodge is making something around 520 crank hp! I like how it sounds, but I am not sure if I...
Gotta hand it to you guys....you sure do keep plugging at it :D
No offense taken here. This topic falls into the "politics and religion" category. It will be (and has been) debated ad infinitum on car boards...
Rules of thumbs arent exact. In this case, the rule of thumb assumes a certain generalized power curve shape (i.e. a certain area under the...
If I recall, Car Craft (or another like magazine) rented an F355 back when they were new and ran it through its paces. (Ferrari apparently wouldnt...
I guess I am just stupid. Or, I am looking at the elephants tail. In any case, we are all describing the same thing. Some just prefer to use...
I have the Dynojet owners manual and in the section on "Theory" it explains the measurement process. I am not smart enough to have thought it up...
If you have the ability to data log your car, watch the injector pulsewidth values. They will generally be the largest at the peak torque rpm.
It measures velocity! It "knows" everything else! This is a topic for tomorrow (bed time for this coot), but suffice it to say that if you run...
It was subtle humor to you Ferrari guys with low torque engines :D You probably can actually floor it in 1st and not spin em! hehehehehehehe...
Ill bet thats exactly how they have it programmed.
To add an interesting twist...... Whos to say that power is calculated from torque? Why couldnt torque be calculated from power? Or velocity?...
I agree with you. That is certainly true.,,..and I think that in the end, we are all looking at the same elephant. The only thing is, the...
With a CVT (can you tell I like that idea :D) it might even be a little more easy to see (since we still do need transmissions until the...
I cant resist...I have to say it! If one's car has peak acceleration at peak torque in 1st gear, then that car is obviously fairly slow! What...
I think in the end, we are all coming to the same point! If you can hold your car at the power peak for the longest period of time, you will...
