Thanks for sharing this fourcam, people always get so worked up over dyno numbers (which don't matter). Some people are offended this luxury car would eat their mustang and spit out the bones. Please post up when you run this at the track. Cheers
All bs'ing aside, I want to see how it will do on E85.......
There is not one other person on SVTP that quotes their flywheel horsepower and correct me if I'm wrong but your not an OEM? :shrug: IMO putting the crank horsepower as the title is very misleading

Math is not a guess.
No we're an aftermarket tuner and as I said 3x before we post both. So deal with it.
I'm gonna leave this here for some of you to read.

As far as crank numbers some of you are too stuck on RWHP dyno numbers which in reality due to different dynos and the figures that can be entered are what?
A GUESS.
Crank numbers were the standard for years and still are for OEM.
I think he was being generous at 20% DT loss because we all know reality they should be less than that.
So your the same as Shelby :lol1:
This is an automotive forum, no one else posts crank hp numbers, NO ONE. The only people I tell my estimated crank hp are people who know nothing about cars. IMO you were just purposely inflating your numbers....
Learn something everyday.
Those things suck some HP then. I've never been under one. lol
When you gonna build another Modular and make some people happy? lol
Any plans on the GT500?
No, math is not a guess. But your crank HP numbers are, as is your drivetrain loss numbers.
Holy crap that thing is bbbad
"as are your..."
I'm not sure if it's read every other post day but DT loss numbers used are not guesses, quite the opposite actually. They are recorded data that can and are shared among tuners/dyno owners that own and/or use load bearing dynos. For the people in the back row: You can measure DT loss via a load bearing dyno.
For example to determine the difference in DT loss between a conventional 7G stall converter and the MCT wet plate clutch setup we compared dynos from 50+ cars (from the same dyno doing our best to eliminate at least one major variable) before and after the MY conversion including C, SL, and E63s (M156). Of course we checked the software and rest of the hardware to see if there were any differences and there were not. Others doing similar comparisons found similar results.
Industry standard has been for decades (RWD/AWD I don't give a shit about FWD) and assuming a front engine/rear drive layout.
Manual Trans : 15%/20%
Auto Trans: 20%/25%
Exceptions would include 30%+ from heavy duty drivelines in diesel 4x4 trucks, commercial trucks, etc.
While significantly newer enough data exists already to suggest DCTs eat ~18%. However if mounted in the rear of the car (ala SLS) that number may drop to 15%.
That said for the car in question there is no question.
