What effect does having 3.55:1 vs 3.27:1 have on the torque measured at the rear wheels?
My quess it that the 3.55s show more torque on a Dyno and therefore more rwHP. So isn't this equivalent to a lower drive train loss percentage? I've seen dyno numbers for stock mustangs that show rwHP numbers that are 10-12% lower than advertised flywheel HP.
So I'm thinking that we should be using 10-12% when we are estimating flywheel horserpower from rwHP for the '03. I've seen one post where a guy said that the engines were dynoing from 415-420 HP. 420 Hp / .88 = 368 rwHP or 420 HP /.90 = 378rwHP.
