Had all three of my cars dynoed
So I got all my cars dynoed and tuned. I was wondering what the crack hp was. Mainly because I am bored right now haha.
98 Trans Am WS6-magnaflow catback and k&n's plus tune--337rwh
89 Iroc Z L98 Full bolt ons--252rwh
86 Iroc Z LG4 Full exhaust/Intake/Dual snorkle--185rwh
1. LS1--337/.85=398 Seems high
2. L98 252/.80= 315 Seems high
3. LG4 185/.85= 218 Seems correct
Anyone have any different methods for calculating fly wheel power. Or any input.

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
does your LG4 have any mods to the carb?
do gear ratios effect final rwh vs crank?

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
Yeah I really like the LS1. I still cannot believe I am getting almost 20mpg with a high 12 second ride. Never took it to the track but id assume it can get in the 12's with radials.

your LG4 results impress me. As for the LS1, you should be on www.ls1tech.com

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
My late-'83 L69, installed in my '71 Camaro, dynoed 179.4 rwhp through a TH350, 2.73:1 8.5" axle, 235/60R15 tires, with an Edelbrock intake and a Hooker dual exhaust system. I suppose you have a T5?

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
T5 Yes. My guess is the dyno is wrong. An L69 has a better cam than an lg4. My lg4 probably should be around 160rwh and 200 at the motor sounds more accurate. It really is extremely slow.

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
I would use 0.85 for the 3rd gen cars. For the LS1 car, 0.88 is more accurate in approximating the drivetrain loss.

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
I got it straight for Scott S. aka godfather of the F-body. With advancements within the drivetrain to lower resistance (friction) and increase fuel mileage, the LS1 cars are much better at putting the Hp to the drive wheels. I think that you are correct in assigning different values for the auto vs manual 3rd gen cars, but I would lean toward 0.825 for the auto.

Re: Had all three of my cars dynoed
A 7.625 is a 7.625, and GM didn't install synthetic lube, SLP may have, but from GM, NO improvement there. Any improvement would be if the T56 had a lesser-angle helical cut on the gears, which I doubt, because it would be noisier. And it didn't need it because it was stronger by mass and materials. Otherwise, the T56 has more internal mass to accelerate, making it slightly less efficient. It has been well established by the Mustang crowd that a T5 and an 8.8, with synthetics in both, together eat right at 13 percent. The 7.625 has the same relative pinion height in relation to the center of the ring gear, so I use 13% for all m/t combos.
As for the 4L60E, it's still just a 700R-4 for everything except the valve body, and still eats the same amount of power. A stock-line-pressure 700R-4 with stock GM converter and stock 7.625 eats right at 22%.
