...and we have a Winner!

The "Guess the HP/TQ contest" was close... verrry close. Much congratulations to 8388 who guessed the closest!

The car did 341hp and 468 tq to the rear wheels. Not too shabby for a turbo car from the late 80's! The A/F ratio was very rich.. even at peak torque/boost the motor hardly went above 10:1. With a little tweaking I'm sure there's more in there... but it's staying where it's at for the time being.

Here's the actual dyno graph after running the car several times. It was dead on consistent for all runs being that the car was strapped down when the motor was already smoking hot.

Here are the results of all the guesses! I put all the info into an Excel spreadsheet and then copied into a graphics file so it could be easily viewed by everyone.

I want to thank my producer, the director, the writers, ooops wrong award.:gap


I sure hope I can make that last minute dash to Carlisle,but if I can't every one is more than welcomed to share my prize:cry :cry

yeap, alittle tunning and it's gonna be much stronger, which already is very good considering it still has the stock exhaust.

Congrat's. Sam (8388) Hopefully you will be able to make it (last minute) and claim your pize

Great contest Eric!!!

See everyone at the Show

p.s. Eric, I spoke w/ the hotel today and mentioned the Creeper Race through the lobby - She said that was nothing - 2 weeks ago, someone stole the hotel pickup truck and sunk it into the swimming pool :eek Everything is o.k. now though

Check out the graph and tell me how fun it is to drive a car with that much torque!! Just when the tires stop blowing off the pavement-- it's time for another gear-- then the back end starts hunting around again. Oh, what a good problem to have!

CC-- I guess if they dunked the truck in the pool that they just needed liquid refreshment. We'll have plenty of that!

WooHoo!!! I'll take second only .8 more off the torque than 8388. I guess all that studying of Vettes pays off. Wicked Cool thread. Thanks Eric.

I want a recount when you get that A/F ratio straigtened out. You're obviously down on some power being that rich.

Sam, get up here and claim your prize!
