yeahhhh buddy

 

There is a math formula for it. Try wikipedia

 

if you tell me at what rpm it is making that tq i can tell you the hp. or if you tell me how much tq it is making at peak rpm and also tell me what rpm that might be and i can tell you the hp.

 

do you have a dyno sheet and you just want guesses before posting it?

if so, id say 380-410

 

I am going to say 426

 

427

 

tq x rpm/5252=hp
or
hp x 5252/rpm=tq

 

428
lol

 

hmmm good answers...i'd say 480whp. HeHeHe

 

oh oh....and what would be your guess WITH OUT the 3" CAT?

 

YOU!!!


haha jk,

 

330tq got me 500whp... 1.8L GSR 8.2:1 t3/t67ho, under 20psi, 3" Thermal no cat

 

310 got me 430, 366 got me 513 on an LS. Id say near 500 for you

 

I made 522 with 327trq but I had boost leaks all over the place.

 

right on the money!!

my first dyno i didnt finish had a boost leak! only got 14.5psi and it gave me 303WTQ. now all my stuff is in order. no more boost leak. i will be having it tuned where it's suppose to be (18psi).

i just gotta get rid of my 3" high flow CAT. however i think that is the reason why i have high tq numbers? Backpressure anyone?

well i will post the NEW DYNO in a couple weeks guys. i'm bed rest right now. =(

 

so whats the point of this thread?

 

just for ***** and giggles. and when i was making my guess i was figuring in that the tq was going to drop. so i guessed that by 8000 the tq would have dropped to about 280wtq. cause i didnt see you have cams listed.

 

depends on the RPM.

i made 450whp w/ just 275ftlb. so if u built a good setup, you should be making 525+whp

 

It has stock B16 cams, head. Just too lazy to post the complete setup lol. the bottom block is well built. :-)

 

Well if you were a 5.7L V8 and made 330wtq at 2000RPM it would be 125whp lol.

A B16 making 330wtq at 9500RPM would be 600whp. :D

 

vader. u were from salinas before? lol nice to see a fellow salinas guy. ha

 

I guess its a good thing a V8 doesn't peak at 2000RPM.

BTW, whats up with this "wtq" crap? Torque is measured ft-lbs.

 

Yup, 18 years in Salinas. Went to North Salinas High lol. Miss it there.

wtq = wheel torque.

 

That part is obvious, but why? Torque is a force and is usually measured in foot-pounds, but also newton-meters. You don't say your car weighs 2900 on the scale , you say its 2900 pounds. So why say it makes 310 torque at the wheels? It 310 ft-lbs.

 

You would correctly say pound-foot (lbs-ft), which is a measure of torque.

Foot-pound (ft-lbs) is a measure of energy, not torque...

"Wheel torque" is also a misnomer, since when do any of our cars actually have a 1:1 total gearing ratio?
