[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 7453506, member: 11681"] [COLOR="Red"]-385hp/415tq stock terminator[/COLOR] [B]This is not normal[/B], the HP is, but the torque is not. It could be clutch slip or tire slip. Also 415 Tq does not sound stock to me.:dw::shrug: The boost drop off and the parasitic losses are what make higher torque common on a pullied Eaton car. [COLOR="red"]-550hp/590 kb cobra[/COLOR] This car however, being a twin screw, has some kind of problem, belt slip, clutch slip, tire slip, or something hurting top end, fuel delivery, :shrug: something is preventing the twin screw top end charge from making what they usually do at that level. [COLOR="red"]-460hp/505tq (lightning)[/COLOR] A pullied Lightning is a 5.4 torque monster anyway, so that one is fairly normal, it will be also affected by the same boost drop off we see on our 4.6 Eaton cars too. Here is my dyno sheet: 2.3 Whipple twin screw @ 13 pounds(3.50 upper pulley/stk lower) very conservative endurance style 93 octane tune. Stock manifolds, cats and H pipe. FR500 quiet exhaust(now discontinued) [ATTACH=full]952221[/ATTACH] Torque does move things, therefore it is a VERY DESIRABLE characteristic for a heavy car, but if you can retain the torque and also have higher HP you are able to do the same work in a shorter period of time. [B][SIZE="4"]Traction limitations are something all of us have to deal with.[/SIZE][/B] Some run stickies all the time, some just roll into the throttle, and only give it what the street tires will put down. I fall into the later category, I can't even imagine what all the 15 and 17 pound twin screw guys do to get rolling, probably a combo of stickies and pedaling. [/QUOTE]
