Hey Demon how much of that actually hits the wheels? Becasue I see some dyno's talking about 265 to 280 hp, but the graphs don't explain which HP and tourqe it is. Weather is Flywheel, crank, or wheel's.


FWHP = Front Wheel Horse Power or HP the front tires put to the ground

We reverse figure a dyno's numbers to get an decent estimation of what the net power rating is at the crankshaft (manufacturers rated power)

For the MTX Duratec you add around 22% to the dyno numbers (or divide the dyno numbers by .82) to get the crank numbers. (17-18% loss)

Torque loss is about half that. It's roughly add +10-12% to the dyno numbers. (9-10% loss)


2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
