Hi Larry. I have been informed by several members that the numbers are
going to be just about right. The hp reading are at the flywheel, and
the car looses from 15-20% going to the rear wheels.
So with the 175 on a stock EFI Mustang, 175 hp at the rear wheel would
be 206-219 hp which is in the ball park of Fords 225 hp.
I feel real good now with this correction, thanks Mike and Bob, because
236 hp at my car's rear wheel is 278-295 hp. Wow, that really is a lot
for a 2,700 lb car.
With the crate motor, your motto of "I can't get no-- Satis-Traction",
will really become pronounced.
I guess my next question to Mike, Bob and all the other guys with strong
motors is, how do you launch your car, i.e. what rpm, tires, clutch
slippage, etc. I need to go to school on this part of driving.
Larry, drive by with your car when it's out of Jeff's and we can listen
to stereo Tigers.
Larry
