Correct. You know the answer to the question that is the RWHP. You need to know what the original question was. Just like in HS Algebra. The simplest of the equations. You need to back out of the answer, hence the /.87 or /.75 or whatever loss your car is putting down.

Wasn't such a simple question on the GT2/GT3?CGT forum on 6speed. I really did graduate you know. Kevin

Not sure. I haven't looked on there in a while. I forget and lurk the 997TT and 996TT boards there.

No worries, lots of confusion on loss numbers.

I agree on the confusion on the loss numbers, but it was the application of the math that was the issue.. Oh well. Kevin

The 500 number may be accurate; however, I'd bet it was much higher than that on the 128 mph trap speed run.

I believe the 122.6 mph trap speed is more in line with what a Turbo with 500-525 FWHP would do.

Just pulled the front driveshaft for tomorrows dyno runs... surprisingly easy. 35 minutes start to finish. 6 15mm on the trans support and 3 15mm on the shaft... slide it forward and down and pull the splined shaft out. The body panels were the biggest pain. Taking the wife out to dinner tonight with my new GT2 and its pouring rain here.... should make for an interesting drive. Kevin

Kevin, just insert your low boost program.. Right.. But you can't

Just a thought, why don't you hold off on the Dyno run till you have your new program installed???
