I recorded my horsepower using the aeroforce gauge. Max horsepower was 538, that's flywheel of course. Aeroforce claims using MAF counts the horsepower can be accurately calculated, but we will see when I get the car dynoed in 2 weeks. What is the excepted drivetrain lose for a manual? I've heard as low as 12%.

I also tried to do a 0-60 run using the gauge. I short shifted out of 1st because it felt like the tires started to spin, but I still got a 4.36 second 0-60 time. My 1/4 mile time was 15.7@62mph!

I'm going to record the horsepower again, but this time i'll record rpms as well.

Hey Moose,
10-12% for manual is what you will lose do to drive train. Also when you use your aeroforce gauge to get your numbers you should be doing that in fourth. Very good numbers with the guage.

Just for comparison, what is the stock time?
I'd have thought your qtr.mile would be less with the whipple.

RWD manual parasitic loss is about 15% from what i've been told.

I thought about that, but I did it in 3rd because I didn't want to go that fast. I don't think it matters since the transmission isn't in the equation. 538 is just about right though, assuming 13% lose that would be 468rwhp. I'll do a few more runs in 4th and third and see what the difference is if any.

I didn't run a 1/4 mile, but the gauge keeps recording up to a 1/4 mile. I let off after the shift to third which is why my time is slow and my trap speed is stupid slow. I ran a 12.5@117.6 at the track, but I suck. I'll do a full 1/4 run on the street and see if it traps close to what i got at the track.

that's a lot more accurate than my livewire for the hp readings, mine gives me outrageous numbers, that i only wish were true. even if its off by like 10-15hp, thats still pretty darngood as long as its consistent also.

I was thinking I'd get those numbers on my vert. You are not giving it enough gas.

Well I don't think your vert will trap 117, but you could easily run a 12.5. My 60 ft time was 2.0 so there is much room for improvement. My best time before the gears and blower was 13.6@106. If you have a supercharger and aren't afraid to powershift, you can easily beat my time.
