Sorry for the high jack. Motor, tranny, and turbos are in. Just need to get the oil lines, exhaust, and wires plugged back in and it should be ready to rock and roll.

The theory on power loss through an auto vary, but it is generally thought about 20%. Hope that helps.

Dude! I like how flat that HP curve is. 300+ above 3k RPMs is great!

I was going to call and ask if you were going to be up and running for Jefferson State. Sounds like you will be.

By power loss, do you mean loss from not locking the converter, or just standard drive line loss?

good numbers! right on man! I wanna get my heap on the dyno really bad this summer. I want to wait until they stop running winter blend though.

I was real close with my 350/750 guess too.

The average between the 3 runs was 347.67/778.33

I feel I deserve a cookie for this.
