I'm not actually 200 that I can prove yet. 185-190 I can though. Should be able to hit 200 if I add more timing, which I have no reason to do right now.

Really
MAF data, and corrected to at the flywheel power (which can be just as good if you know how to work with it )

I'm confused, are you saying you're estimating horsepower with MAF data?iminhell wrote:trahma wrote:typically if you can prove a number, it's a flat number because you've ran it on a dyno of some sort.iminhell wrote:To the wheel/s.

I'm sure I'm an idiot but I'd have to see a real dyno chart as proof before I'd believe it.

I'm in the save boat as Steve.. you're using data of air passing through your MAF to calculate horsepower? I'm not mechanic but that doesn't seem possible.iminhell wrote:trahma wrote:typically if you can prove a number, it's a flat number because you've ran it on a dyno of some sort.iminhell wrote:To the wheel/s.

reconstruction.
It's entirely possible.
But here is the last actual dyno, but this was on the SVT IM and not the FRIM:
Basically if you want to use MAF data you have to Multiply the air flow by your Lambda at that air flow. So if you're taking in 15 #/min and are running a 0.82 Lambda, you can say you are making the power of 12.3 #/min ... or ~123hp (the hp #'s are actually based of CFM, which is #/min * 10 roughly).
I pull, on the top end, about 26 #/min worth of air and am shooting for a Lambda of 0.82, but it goes a little rich at times still, 0.80.
If you know how the math works it's a very good and accurate way to estimate power.
