RWBHP or RWKW is a pissing contest in my opinion, because all dyno's are different and the dyno operator can fool the run quite easily. For example, we had a guy in QLD who carried around a laminated dyno chart of 334 RWKW in his ute, supposedly cam only. Awesome we thought - until we saw his ET speed along the blacktop and he was pulling about 114 mph. Naturally he was pissed off by us owners who were running at the time 288 RWKW and pulling better times and trap speeds - so we convinced him to come to our dyno - and hey presto we found he was over 60 RWKW down from his original dyno chart. That is why I subscribe to the trap speeds as being a better indicator of power really. Time and time again, even with a good launch or a crap launch, the ET speed is always pretty close. I laugh when I see the xxx.x bhp, as if it is really worth posting to 1 decimal place

So here's mine though for the record:

H+C Ute - 5.7 LS1 - 330 RWKW on a Mainline Dyno - 10.7 at the drags with a trap speed of 126 mph as driven to the track (Willowbank), admittedly with no spare tyre and ET Street Radials on it.

Baby cam only - 5.7 LS1 - 260 RWKW on a Mainline Dyno with a baby 216 cam in my 5.7 LS1 and Mafless tune, Full exhaust and that's all and through an auto so definite drive train losses. Torque was 635 Ftlb.

Cheers

So that's 440hp and 350hp in the Queen's land (rather than Queensland).

Ahh yes!

I have a laminated A4 print out from the rolling road when WP tuned it so it must be true

If it's WP then I probably used to drink with their behind the scenes tuner!!!

Only time I've dyno'd mine before the more serious mods.

'04 HSV 5.7 LS1 engine with only CAI, mid-length headers ad non-cat exhaust.

330 WHP, 415 FWHP

There's a better article on the site somewhere about 1/4 mile terminal speeds but here's some comparison data why terminal speed is a good measure of performance.

Spending the most money doesnt guarantee you the highest number.

Arnie's has been one of the most cost effective setups so far, and has produced numbers far above most.
His 2 cars have probably cost less than some have spent on one.

[jameshsv]

Is it pub talk day today.why not have the best 1/4 and mile time then hey presto we have the fastest car over both.
