I saw it today, it claims if you can provide 1/4 mile time and finishing MPH they can calculate your horses.....

I think this thing is bogus tho, cuz wouldnt car weight, cylinders, and engine size (liters) also matter.... ehh MD where are you?

hmm thats wierd, what is speed through traps?

None of that calculates into horsepower bud, only torque and RPM.

 

[Louse76]

And for everyone, this is how you link!

 

[Patsintegra16]

Louse you know what "speed through the traps" means?

 

[gsrsilv]

this thing has to be bogus. i put in 88mph and put in 2100 for the weight and the hp was 122...then i kept the mph at 88 and changed the weight to 2300 and the hp went up to 133. that is a bit backwards..

 

[bigcooncie95ls]

why would that be backwards?? you need more horses for a heavier car to go the same speed

 

[acurasquirrel]

In a perfect world of no air resistance, no tire spinning, and other such variables yes that equation should be correct.

 

[sleeperls93]

But we don't live in a world like that...

 

[Louse76]

i'm not talking specifically about this calc, but what really factors into HP.

 

[LT6916]

lol...it said i had 144 horses!!! on an LS?!?!? BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Louse76]

well it says "true engine power," not power at the wheels. your car has 142 stock, so its pretty close. was this with or without your mods?

 

[FlyinHighImport]

this is RIDICULOUS!!! haha speed 190 weight 2300 hp 1342 hahahaha!

 

[tim]

i put in speed 95 weight of 2300, and i got 168 hp. I must have a type rs. Damn! that is complete sh*t and a waste of someone's programming time.

 

[tim]

oh and a speed of 10 with the weight the same is 0 hp. I apparently lost my engine.

 

[ALLSH0WGs]

stuff like that is a waste of time, if you really wanna know how much HP you've got go take a DYNO test!!!!!!

 

[TheGSRGuy]

Yeah that's so those ricer idiots at ClubSi can strut around claiming they have 200hp.

That car test program is crap too.

 

[FatyGrenEyez]

and if any of you went to the dyno you would probably find that those #'s are close give or take 10 h.p. because they are rough estimates given such things as wind resistance.

"Yeah that's so those ricer idiots at ClubSi can strut around claiming they have 200hp."

kind of like the idiots here basing their data on a g-tech's
this site gets worse every day

 

[DoDgE_ThiS_]

how much horse should a stock LS put to the wheels

 

[tim]

why defend a program that gave me over a thousand horsepower going 140 miles an hour? This is not accurate, and i don't see this gtech abuse as much as you say you do.
