No, unless your defination of 'hook' includes 2.1> 60fts. Originally posted by ryanblacksvt:

RWD, yes.
FWD, not really even on a good day.
Our platform, bwahahaha...
Diff breaks first, then axles, then tranny gears. 7-8k later you can find out what breaks next.
For me that ~8k would go a long way towards building a nice project car. One that's RWD of course!!!

WEll we all know stock hp can break diff's and axles with just a little abuse, but tranny gears are gonna hold up pretty good.(at least i think)but as long as you not missing shifts,and hammering the gears. Even then your gonna go thru sync's before you strip a gear. Ive pulled my tranny apart those gears are pretty stout.

this is a magnetic flywheel that is powered from electicity and magnets. assuming the magnet speed is based off the energy received, you would be able to control the energy given with a foot pedal. Simular to having a light dimmer switch that you can adjust by moving up and down. This electric flywheel could have magnets in the inside moving and have a flywheel and clutch in the outside driven from magnetic power inside. This would turn the transmission and all the gears. now would this create enough power..? Some of the fastest rollercoasters in the world are driven from negative and positive work against each other to create movement. 0-60 on a rollercoaster with this set up is around 3 seconds which is impressive for the weight. Just pondering ideas....let me know what you think... imagine a big magnetmotor creating energy. they would last forever because they will never ware down cause magnets would never touch...

start thinking about the evergy supply for that thing and then you'll know why it is impractical, not impossible. A rollercoaster has electrical contacts and energy consumption isn't a big deal. A car is portable and has no rails or contacts hooked to it.

The Mumm brothers has problems stripping the tranny gears and they were making about 300-320 crank HP from a NA engine.
This was with custom axles, hubs, LSD, solid mounts, and racing slicks.
The tranny was not engineered to take any type of abuse or any real increase in power. For that matter it doesn't even hold up to stock power levels. (bad diff, bad syncros, poor lubrication, etc)

They were road racing(with slicks), so im sure they were REAL rough on there trannies(prob shifting at 8k or so). a whole lot more abusive then anyone on the street. You are prob. right they might not be as strong as i want to believe, but The fact is i dont read very many posts if any about stripping gears. even the big dogs such as your self are hammering pretty good at the strip, and i dont here anyone crying about weak gears.
Plus(now im on a roll) Even the guys running stage 3(blah,blah,blah) axles are breaking them before they have tranny problems. I know i have broken a clutch and axle on stock hp. just shifting hard into second. So there are alot more weak links that are gonna break before tranny gears.
That all im saying.

ok guys so there is no documented hp gains from this?? i understand about the launch. having less rotating mass when launching is bad at the start but should be beneficial at the top end. case in point back in the 70s guys used to put heavier flywheels in and rev the shat out of thier engines. the momentum off the heavy flywheel would carry the car off the line and keep the rrrs up.
when i slam 3rd the engine bucks a little. just not enough rotating mass i guess. anyone else have this problem ??

Dropping 10 lbs equates to roughly 15 HP in 1st, 8 in 2nd, 3 in 3rd, and 1 in 4th.
...and I quote my first post even... 
Power gained; not exactly.
Less power lost; yes but the less effective gear ratio the less realized gains.
