Teferius Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I have tried several Horsepower calculators and they all came up with me having 197HP at the wheels. I put in my time of 15.044 @ 89.94 and the car as weighing 3400lbs. With 20% tranny loss that is 236hp on the motor. Here are the links to the ones I tried. http://www.migpc.com/The_1_4_Mile/the_1_4_mile.html Just wanted to get an idea of what kind of horsepower I may have. that sounds a little high with the mods I have though.

89oldscutlass Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Did you include your body weight? Quote
Teferius Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 3243 is car and I added like 160ish for body weight, the more the weight the more HP it would say I would have anyways. Quote
sonyman87 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 i calculated mine it was 236.88hp at flywheel... 182.21hp at the wheels. car weight at 3400lbs Quote

Wow, using one of those, and entering in my weight and hp and such, it came up with that i should run the 1/4 mile in 24 seconds. I guess im happy that i got a 17.4 John Quote

Jeorge Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I dont know I used method one and came up with Your Grand Prix STE weighs about 3500 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 15.00 seconds. That means that you've got about 204.97 HP at the wheels, and about 266.46 HP at the flywheel. and well my car Dyno'd at 207 at the wheels so that could be about right? I think they are not calculating in the TQ as much as they should...and thats how they get the High HP Quote
Teferius Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Posted November 19, 2003 BTW how much does it cost to get up on a dyno? If its cheap I may try that over the holiday break. Quote
john99gtp Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 i should run the 1/4 mile in 24 seconds. According to that calc I run it in 17.4 though 8) John Quote
4spdz34 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 hey teferius are u still going to lapeer the weekend after thanksgiving? my trans should be done tomorow Quote
Teferius Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 According to my timeslip you are only 3mph slower then me in the 1/4 mile. :oops: But it was 10mph off. Quote
Marcus18 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Your STE Turbo weighs about 3560 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 14.9 seconds. That means that you've got about 212.71 HP at the wheels, and about 276.52 HP at the flywheel. WOW I never knew I had so much power! (I don't think thats right) thats going off of the fact the dtk2 ran a 14.9 1/4 and 9.43 1/8th I ran a 9.42 1/8th so my 1/4 should be about the same. if thats anywhere near the truth then I'm a happy man. marcus Quote
