Ok cool, Everybody who replied thanks for your time and input, but still, everybody so far are using the dyno for intelligent resons... (For reference points). Maybe I just didin't get my point across right? All I am saying is that it seems that people are exaggerating(or at least hard to believe) Rwhp #'s. I saw somebody quote somebody's combo with such a lack of info, he didn't even know what size cam or cylinder heads he was using!!!
Its just seems its starting to become a pissing contest among people, not here but just in general. Its like the old days "I have 3/4 inch cam so my car must go faster then yours type of thing. I just want to know if its just me or are other people noticing it too?
Before long, according to some ignorant, mis'informed people you will need to make 600 horsepower at the rear wheels to run in the 13's in 3000 pound car!!!!
It's a fact that manual transmission cars will show more horsepower at the rear wheels then an automatic trans car. It's also a fact that automatic cars with loose conveters (4,000 stall+) will show a significantly less horsepower then normal.
My last combo that yelded under 400 horsepower at the rear wheels had a 4200+ stall converter. And if after all of that, you cant get a car to run in the 10's then maybe you need some lessons on driving!! I could you teach for a price.
