How about "Who has the highest trap speed over the quarter" as a show of who has the most HP.



Well, maybe because quater mile time is not simply a function of engine power. There are loads of other variables, like weight, suspension setup, transmission.

Just because a car has a faster quater mile time doesn't mean it is more powerful, just like it doesn't mean it will be faster on the street or on the track. It just means it is a better drag car.

So if the purpose of this thread is to figure out what configuration of a 4AG will produce the most power, dyno comparisons make more sense than quater mile times, as they eliminate as many independent variables as possible.



Aarrrh I said trap speed not quarter mile ET Rolling Eyes

I know what configuration of the 4AGTE will produce the most power, the one with the owner who is prepared to talk the most BS Very Happy

We would have to have a 4AGTE dyno day (same day, same dyno, accurately calibrated yada yada yada) to make the values comparable as I have seen some large variances on the same car between different dynos.

Then there is just the plain old BS factor with which people fudge figures (good for when a dodgey arse tuner wants to make it look like they did a fantastic job etc) which is very very easy to do, hell I can get a 450rwkw printout from my 4AGTE if you like Very Happy

I do understand where you are coming from with your comment, even though you misunderstood what I said Rolling Eyes

But I would get a hell of a lot more value from comparing trap speeds (for power) than dyno charts on this forum. Too much BS floating around and too many different dyno runs.

You can calculate your hp from your trap speed too, it is actually quite accurate. Google a few drag racing sites and some will have a calculator for it.

Yes there are loads of variables, the dyno and the operator can add two more Very Happy

Cheers.

Oh yeah, my car is just as fast on the street as on the track too, because I don't change anything around and I got grip Evil or Very Mad
