[T3] Horsepower at the wheels.


<x-flowed>I took Sophy to a local Street Rod/Muscle Car show over the weekend. She was well received. Particularly the flame job. Anywho....they had a coupe of portable chassis dynos at the show.

So.....for grins I put Sophy up on the Livernois Motorsports dyno and had them do a couple of pulls. Results were about what I was expecting.

Peak HP  		46.3 HP	at 3900 RPM  at the Rear wheels
Max Torque	69.8 ft-lbs at 3300 rpm

Not too bad for a basically stock engine.

Of course the guy that followed me was a Ford Ranger with a blown big block that made over 870 HP. <G>

It was still interesting to put her up there and see what she had. Especially if I get a chance to build her a new motor over the winter and then see what the improvement is.
