hal here. goodness knows, i never interpreted any posts about more powerful motors as any kind of "one up's manship", but just good information. I thought i would put my sheet up so folks can see what useful information you can get from a little time on a dyno. Look what got me 40+ cheap HP!!

I have more rear wheel hp than a C5 has at the engine, and more at the motor than a Z-06 at the motor. Plus, i weigh about 700 pounds less than they do.

I personally think i am approaching the limit for a feasable, fully streetable, affordable, safe motor.

So please others post your own experiences. By the way, i have known several people who have had their motors on both engine, and chassis dynos, and they have gotten very varied results, very unpredictable. I honestly have a hunch that the more power your motor has at the crank, the greater percentage of "lost" or misplaced HP at the wheels. My friends' experiences seem to me to show that.
