Engine Output comparisons(splinter thread) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

What we learned with Chassis Dynos is how critical the drum diameter and configuration is. High HP/TQ builds cause the tire to "Climb" up on the front roller in a typical two roller setup. This causes tire slip since you are trying to rotate a small diameter drum at high RPM. Same logic as 10 speed bicycle! At 10th gear on a bicycle, you're exerting the force across a short moment arm. With small diameter dual drum dyno's as you pour more HP to it, the tire looses traction and slips. You need 24" or larger drums to work with combinations putting down anything over about 1,100 hp..
