147 @ 412kw - that can't be right! There would be more power there - throws a bit of fuel on my dyno figure scepticism

yep 412 rwkw, through an auto and high stall converter. :)

yes they do, but that depends on the converter efficiency, the car in question has 96%

efficiency so really the power is not effected that much so the figure maybe should read 420 rwkw?

lol! a good example of power loss due to in-efficient converter would be

an NA engine that was making 338rwkw with a stock converter, the made 289

with a high stall (5500rpm) :shocked:

that ran 126mph with the stock converter and 120mph with the hi stall.

got any vids of your run?

this is the only one I can get my hands on, you will see the car had an argument with the tyres lol!

hence the reason with the slow time and mph.

thanks. it actually not my car, I just "look after it"

it has a 2800rpm converter, the 60ft times are pretty bland, compared to the 9 sec et.

1.45 60 ft at best.
