Nobody said they add power. They free up power. Which the dyno sees as more power.How? They can't lower friction, they don't create torque, how can they add power at steady state running?
old info, my friendSteeda made 487 on e85 with all the boltons plus ported heads (how much do those help? Probably not much with stock cams etc)
You're 50 above that.

It's tuned so they both make the same amount of power according to the tuners....same engine except better rods/pistons (which don't matter at NA levels)old info, my friendthey made 526 on GT on c85
but we have DH![]()
They added 'secret parts' which they didn't say what they are
529whp on GT, not DH
we have different camshaftsIt's tuned so they both make the same amount of power according to the tuners....same engine except better rods/pistons (which don't matter at NA levels)
About what parts are You talking?)They added 'secret parts' which they didn't say what they are
Do you have the secret parts?
Weight! 4200lbs!Here's another way way of looking at your numbers
You said you did a 7.9 100-120 (62-124mph for the rest of us)
That means you'd do about a 9 second 60-130 which is about right for a full bolton Mustang on e85
A stock DH thats running really well will go 10.1 or so
You're only up about 5-6mph in the 1/4 from a stock car. If you had another 130hp you would be running a faster 100-200. Like a 6.7 (or 7.7 60-130)
Last time I checked that's what a dark horse + driver weighsWeight! 4200lbs!

Look, all I'm saying is your dyno numbers are off. The dragy numbers prove that.
You are mistaking rotational inertia for friction. Friction is also known as drivetrain losses, all the bearing friction, oil drag, I suppose even the wind resistance of the clutch or torque converter spinning absorbs power. Even the rolling resistance of tyres on the rollers, or road, absorb power.I agree too with @robvas
if rotating mass doesn’t mean anything, that way we have to do on 500 crank HP car 500 whp on dyno….
But we see only 405… it means crank has to rotate transmission, driveshaft, gears, axles, brake wheels, wheels, tyers …

Did they throw a manual Mach 1 in there?? never seen this chartI agree too with @robvas
