I guess I don't need a dyno to tell me I have enough oomph! The dyno tag on my Roush 402SR/TW came back at 486 HP and 496 Torque at the crank. Less 20% and I've still got more than I need for street use.  |
In my experiance dynoing Cobras, that's a pretty valid loss figure.
Also, so many people get caught up on dyno numbers, because they spent big bucks for more motor than they really need because they paid for big power numbers. The reality is the cars are plenty fast regardless of what numbers show compared to what they expected.
My FE powered CSX makes 320 rwhp and is FAR from "slow".
