Wow, that is making way more than 412 at the flywheel

[SpoonyGT]

What kind of a dyno

Good pawr.

[04 Venom]

Wow, that is stout performance! Better than the stock Terminators.

[Mustard]

thats awesome power

Saw this on SVTperf and there is def some debate on it. Can't wait to see a few more hit the dyno to back it up hopefully.
And If I remember correctly insideline dynoed the 2010 GT500 and got 510rwhp, which is about 35rwhp more than most get...but maybe they are right with this one?

[Kevin1989]

if that is true and i get offered salary at work next year, ima have to buy one :D


its so quiet though!!!

its so quiet though!!!

Won't take much to fix that. :D

[Squale iii]

Sweet, how much do they weigh?

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

3500lb neighborhood.

I've been reading a lot of debate about what gear they pulled in, because it's not a 1:1 ratio. Some say it matters, some say it doesn't. Any of you dyno operators wanna chime in on that?

[Squale iii]

^What does that mean for us not mechanically inclinded people?? Does it make it faster or slower?

[9cobra4]

Faster, if they made the pull in 3rd it would obviously pull to redline faster than if it was in 4th(1:1) and therefore inflate the numbers.

A guy explained to me that while you may see higher HP numbers, you might also see lower torque numbers so it's a give and take.

All the pulls were made in 4th gear. Where the arguments are coming from is that the new GT's are 6 speeds. Some are saying that 5th gear should be the 1:1 gear not 4th and that Edmunds dropped the ball. But then there are dyno owner operators arguing that it does not matter on a dyno jet which is what it was tested on.

I wonder what the new 6 cylinder puts down too :bigthumb

I plan on buying one of those if they can keep the weight around 3200-3300 lbs.

Here is a link to the Motortrend site where they tested the 2011 GT and V6. The V6 ended up putting out 267hp/260tq to the wheels for them on their dyno.

I'll find some backup info here shortly but with a manual trans car you will make the most power in the 1:1 gear and less in any other. When the dust settles 370-380 is going to be my guess on the average dyno numbers for a stock 2011 GT when dynoed in 5th gear (1:1).

[05yellowgt]

Pulled this from another website direct from Dynojet:


Typically, you will see the highest numbers in the 1:1 or closest to 1:1 ratio gear. This is because no additional power is being exhausted to accelerate the inertia of the drivetrain. In 2nd gear, let’s say, because the gearing allows the car to accelerate more quickly, more HP will be used to accelerate the inertia of the drivetrain than in 1:1. See my graph below. This example was a 1996 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, all gear run. Ignore the small shift spikes at the beginning of each gear as that’s an inertia spike (where letting the clutch out abruptly against an engine with higher RPM than matching the next gear at that speed causes a brief quick acceleration of the drums).

As you can see, the HP was the highest in the 1:1 gear, and lower in other gears. From what I have experienced, the further you get from 1:1, the lower the power getting to the wheels and drum surface will be, as more is used to accelerate the inertia of the drivetrain, overcome frictional losses in meshing gears, side loading bearings, etc.
