but that is assuming that all that matters for a good ET is peak whp. there could be major differences between the torque throughout the rpm range. Also, other things could effect it like tire size and compound, wheel size and weight, final drive ratio, driver skill, launch rpm, track altitude, ambient temperature, etc.
Don't start the dead horse torque debate. I'm not worried about the powerband.
I'm also not worried about tires and compound. The car is not powerful enough with a 3L to have serious traction issues at ANY track. The key IS VHT, they spray it all over the place. I cut a 2.14 60' with bald 215/50/16 on stock cougar wheels-driver skill is same as me or worse. I have the stock final drive, if he has the zetec it only hurts him. Maybe some help with a 4.5, but thats not what he has. I ran at a favorable altitude so anything he ran is about the same, or it hurt his run if higher. I hope he ran in a non 80 degree day like I did.
Lie, false dyno, etc.
He could own my face and videotape him doing just what he said (assuming he gets on a correct dyno first), better yet 13's. I'd like to see it.
So on the positive note good luck to Grenade, proud to see a swap in the cdw27 any day.. i'll stay out of this thread, I don't want anything to get ugly.
