Doug, that little hampster wheel is only $1000 for the shortblock? Is there a quantity discount available?

Doug you already posted youtube in car videos with data showing the MPH, its simple math to extrapolate, I even know your torque curve from acceleration Gs. Suffice it to say that whatever power you have now, I'll have a LOT more. See you at Cal.

I was always curious to see if the calculated info would look like the dyno info.... LMK what you got!

There are too many factors to correlate directly but in general you work out a correction factor and it lines up within 10hp of dynos. I won't have that correction factor without knowing your dyno sheets, but even without it, it is usually within 50hp. At that point its not really relevant, because it gauges your rate of acceleration the same and thats how I work out my accel rates. This is why the guys who are cheating on power don't show their in car videos.
I have my work cut out for me to make it since its so soon after I get back, but I'll be there

Set backs as usual, but it will be ready.

So you're saying if we want to bust guys in Street Class for making too much power (if we want to come up with a rule like that), all we need to do is install a tiny Go Pro camera in the cockpit, make sure it captures the speedo and rpm gauges.. and we can make an educated guess, within +/- 50hp?

Well it needs accurate speed data, they can fake the speedo display. It would need to watch a speed display from GPS, or something. If you want to set something like that up, I'll give you a hand. RPM is useful mostly for determining torque. If we log whole timed sessions we dont have to worry about them short shifting on us.
