I've read that if you multiply your lb/min value by 10, that you get a pretty accurate horsepower reading. 146.5HP@6k at the crank! Woohoo! Finally no more relying on the butt dyno. Actual numbers. Check it out... BTW, this was on an on-ramp going up hill. What are you guys getting?

I was kind of hoping to see if others had MAF values vs. a dyno run. BP Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

BP actually now that I check, i have the program and I got the data someone else took from my car when it was on the dyno, the maf air flow rate did hit 18.x and take my standard corrected number of 155 and add 18% to go from the wheel to the crank, for a 5 spd, you get about 182 so it kinda works out - 95 Mystique LS - Zetec/5spd - 99 Contour SeVT Sport - Duratec/5spd Official NE-CEG Contour/Mustang Family

Do you have a chip? Or is that how much the stock duratec runs? >>EDIT<< Actually it looks like you hit 19.468 at 10:39:20.4. If you back up a couple seconds, what does your data look like? Theoretically, that's 194.68 crank HP! With 18% loss, that's 159.7 wheel HP. Nice! >>EDIT<< BP Last edited by ButtonPuncher; 10/11/05 03:58 AM.
