The car never spun. And yes the car is strapped down. I like the way zzp does it.

 

I like!

 

I like how u r running slicks on the dyno, that must help traction lol

 

Blue smoke from the cutout then?

 

Yea something like that.

 

just a little blow by that isn't ate up by the resonator/muffler

 

damm it matt - you got to change your sig again

for drivetrain loss [based on SAE correction formula - tire size/car weight/gear ratio/etc]: 13% - 25%, then is my calculation correct for both? I used 15% because SAE is 14.7%, I rounded it out to make it simple..

based on UNCORRECTED SAE: 692.7HP add 15% for drivetrain loss that's 796.605HP at the crank!! is this true?

based on CORRECTED SAE: 715.2HP add 15% for drivetrain loss then it's 822.48HP at the crank using SAE correction formula?

 

woh you can get wheel horsepower at the crank thats CRAZY i guess you do learn something new every day

 

 

Yeah man! Haven't you seen the wheels with the lug pattern that bolts right up to an ecotec crank?!?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I over read that....

 

Yea it's the new ultimate whp numbers.

 

Some people say 6 or even 7 dollars could be here next week. I am excited to see this machine take off and become somewhat inexpensive to produce and sell..


My own e generator .. ahhhh the fantasy ...

* sorry to thread jack , just too cool

 

haha guys - i just wanted to know if the formula is correct for crank numbers..

 

700 whp is about 825 crank hp with 15% loss

 

Wall street is expecting $146 a barrel which put gas at $5.90 - $6.89 by the end of the month.. I could see $5-6 in PA or maybe $7 but it depends on how the market react to the increase per barrel as it's sold to big gas co.. soon the economy is going in the tank again..

I like home brew idea, it's way cheaper to put together..IMO..

 

the BS thing is for a while is was below 100$ a barrel and prices NEVER reflected that

oddly enough gas prices just dropped by me today

 

Where did this come from? Everything I have been reading has the price per barrel dropping or staying level?

I hope the analyst are wrong and gas prices doesn't go up, but nobody knows for sure, until the summer travel season starts [first week of June]..

 

Bump

 

You gonna up the ante???

 

Hell yea! Going to have very similar mods, Idk if I'll be that close to zzps numbers but I'd like to see what numbers I can put down on the dyno for sure for comparison. I started my build late November 2013 and I'm $6400 in so far, and have about another $5k to go so hoping to finish within these next few months. Picking up a 4.45 right now actually!

 

Hopefully one of these days i will actually crawl out from underneath the rock I live under and come out to one of yalls meets and get to see this beast

 

Update: the price of gas did not go up to $7 /gallon. Armageddon did not happen, the sky did not fall, and zap did not create a worm-hole with their Cobalt.

 

Don't bump old threads for the sake of bumping
