For you guys who think RWHP is everything...

its not. The setup is what matters: Auto/manual, big or little stall, track weight, s/c'd or n/a. I see alot of emphisis rwhp, and many statements like "you cant beat a 450rwhp with your 300 hp car," and that isnt true.

We dyno'd my 306cid .660" solid roller, AFR 185, systemax intake 2 years ago and it put out an amazing 310 rwhp and 295 ft/lb torque (through a 4000 stall). Now while these numbers look pretty weak the car ran 11.70s all day long. My new motor just put down 401rwhp and 414 ft/lb torque through a 4000 stall and I am certain a 10.80-11.20 are in the near future. (what does a 400 rwhp camaro run?)

One more example 450 rwhp through 5000 stall, 3000 lb car went 10.20s on motor.

Who in Houston wants to run?

and your point is? not many people have a drag suspension on their car. Hp isn't everything in drag racing, but thats about where it stops IMO. In drag racing its all about power / wt ratio and suspension & tires.

Since you couldnt find the point here it is:

RWHP doesnt mean jack, so why so much focus on RWHP?

everyone want to know how much power, when it doesnt matter what the dyno says

OK, tell that to a Honda.

Just b/c you're dyno'ing with a converter that locks/unlocks you're trying to prove something?

And a 400rwhp Camaro with a big stall will run pretty decent. Unless your car is somehow special and the only one that can.

Congrats on being a jackass!

READ what I wrote. Thanks for agreeing with me 98LS1, I dont see why I'm a jackass, you agreed with me (numbers dont mean anything)

98LS1 · 11-15-2004, 07:23 PM

You're a jackass b/c of the way you said it. Then the little quote where you called out anyone in Houston...is it that hard to find a race?

I think mostly all of us know that you're going to lose hp through a converter....why make a thread telling us that?

And yes, numbers do mean something.

Ok Ok we get it, your proud of your 400 rwhp and have a fast car. Congrats.
