RE: Since everyone always asks what they would run in the 1/4...
I hope so! My car weighs 3500lbs, and it said i should run a 15.1 @90mph. doesn't seem right if you ask me. especial since i have 4.10's. That doesn't calculate traction, gears or driving coniditions. total b.s. if you ask me.
my bad they make notice of this. But it still doesn't seem right.

A dyno ran 1/4 mile basically leaves out 80% of the variables that actually determine a correct time.
Driver, Traction, Track/Weather Conditions, etc....
As for gear changes reflecting incorrect dyno numbers that is BS. When using the 1:1 ratio in the transmission that is what your engine puts out period. Gears change how the force is used not how much force is applied.

there was a 10 hp diff between pulling in 3rd.to 4rth....1:1 ratio is where you see the true engine load.
