Hey,

I got those crank horsepower and torque numbers from the dyno shop (Atlanta Chassis Dyno). They say they generally get a 20% loss of horsepower and torque through the tranny and driveshaft in automatics and 15% in manuals. Also I have a steel driveshaft for whatever that's worth.

As far as ET's and MPH's are concerned, I think that maybe due to differnet tracks (I was racing at Commerce, GA, which is considered to be a pretty high altitude track). At this track stock LT1's usually run about 14.3's@98.xx.

Thanks for the info. on the posi rear stuff. I'm just about sure that's what has happened to mine.

no problem man.. and if you were racing at a high altitude track then yeah that can kill your times. You should try correcting those times for elevation just so you can compare your car's performance to everyone else's.
