Rear wheel HP estimate - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Nacho_ZR1 · 02-27-2013

Greetings from Moscow! Quick question - realistically how much rwhp can I expect with ported heads/IH and Pete's cams. Also, what trap speeds and mph are ya'll running in the 1/4? Once i get back from my biz trip, I'll be taking my car to Corey so he can work his magic!

420-440rwhp; traps at 120-125, depending on how good a driver you are and tires you use

Hib Halverson · 02-27-2013

The Automasters "Street Skinner" engine in my 95 made 413 SAE-corrected at the wheels on a DynoJet with stock manifolds and cats.

If you add headers and cams to a 350 with head/housings/plenum work and cams I'd hope for at least 430 at the wheels. Anything less and I'd want my money back.

I'd say your speed in the quarter will be 120-130. As for the e.t? That will depend on your driving talent, axle ratio, rear tires and your suspension set-up.

I've got right at 420 to the wheels without cams. Pete did the port work and the SW headers. Have not been to a track.

Hib Halverson · 02-28-2013

420 at the wheels..SAE-corrected or standard-corrected?

Fully Vetted · 03-01-2013

Good question. Corey did the pull last month. I'll be picking the car up here pretty quick. I'll ask.

Pete · 03-01-2013

When i dyno'd that Z it made 425 SAE Corrected

I heard Corey got 428 out of it.

I think 430+ should be possible from that Z but then again every Dyno is different 420-430 is withen tolerance
Some shops have unfriendly dyno #'s till you drop some cash then they get you some friendly dyno #'s.

This is why i always dyno'd at two different Dyno's just to compare.
Look up Dynojet tricks how they can play with Dyno #'s

What i have discovered at my 600ft elavation track and my Z with stock front wheel/tires.
370-380rwhp 115-117 1/4 MPH
390-410rwhp 117-119 1/4 MPH
415-430rwhp 119-121 1/4 MPH
435-450rwhp 121-123 1/4 MPH
465-475rwhp 128-129 1/4 MPH aluminum pullies half weight over stock saves 2.5lbs,ATI balancer minus 2lbs,flywheel/clutch set up saved a bunch
(200lbs overall total)

Pete,

You've got the last 25 rwhp making a 5+ MPH trap speed?

Since then i re-ported my plenum/IH's a bit bigger i also mention i reduced rotational weight between pullies,ATI balancer,clutch/flywheel i'd say 25lbs maybe more and about 200lbs dead weight.
