Does anyone know if there is a formula to convert rwhp to fwhp on a fox with stock 5 speed and stock drive shaft? Oh yeah and .373 gears.

Im guess you mean Fly Wheel Horsepower rather then Front Wheel Horsepower. That being said just take your rwhp and find 15% of it and add it to your rwhp number and that should get you close.

Thanks, but that number is rather dissapointing. lol

IME, I think that 18-20% is a closer factor to use.
Your final gear ratio will not matter in this anyways.........

RWHP - RWHP = Front wheel horsepower...

I dont know about you guys... but my car doesnt make any front wheel horsepower... maybe I need V-TEC

I think he meant flywheel HP, or at least hope, id just add like 30 hp onto the rwhp
