Nice car.

Just 1 question.
are yor figures right? thats over 20% loss from engine to wheels (similar to my Impreza) I thought normally rwd cars would be around 10-15%loss.


RWHP will look for fly sheet

Very nice, although I agree, it's more "accepted" that manual cars, especially ones sporting the t56 tend to lose more like 12-15% via the drivetrain.


So more like 567-587hp fly.

But serious grunt none the less!!!!! biggrin

Yup, but dynos basically pluck transmission loss figures from thin air so I suspect that flywheel figure is a bit on the high side.

Either way, its got some power.

Fantastic motor!
Not trying to be stalkerish but I'm sure I saw you in it today. It looked great and the sound was amazing. I rarely get to here an LS engine from the outside on the road as I'm normally passengering in my old man's vette, so it was good to hear.
