evildave Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp anyone tried this vs actual results? quite a few forums are finding the predicted outputs fairly close to measured runs up the strip. not sure what the hidden calcs behind it are but there must be a pre determined modifier for high BHP and RWD. still kept me occupied for a few minutes
SmokeEm Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 If our stripped out Cappa weighs in at 950kg then it's fooking accurate However, it can't pre-determine gearing as if we changed diff ratios, we'd drop a few tenth's on the strip

It wasn't great with mine. It was up to 0.5 slow in places, but high on the mph - not bad though, true

Fiesta Steve Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 With a flywheel figure of 153 and a guesstimation of 750 kg mine comes in at 13.88 seconds for a drag strip 1/4 which is absolutely spot on With my new spec it says I'm not going to be fast enough

What's the new spec? Secret? Bit more cam and a bit more compression and a bit less weight
