Chassis Dyno: was: Pinks All Out & Akron Don

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

I've seen claims of 15-25% drive train loss.  The lesser number is with a 4 
speed and seems to be 5% less than with an auto.  I've assmed 20% loss and 
figure I've got around 425HP based on my racing performance.  Frankly, I when I 
built the engine, I expected to see more in the 450 to 475 HP range.  I tried to 
find an engine dyno in the area before I dropped the engine back in the car 
but decided to just get it together and chassis dyno when time allowed.
