Bad Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Okay. So 238 is where I am at. So how much HP would I free up if lost 38 pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Almost 4 HP is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badmuthrfkr Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Every hundred pounds is worth about a tenth in the 1320. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGlue Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 So if I can shave 1260 pounds off my car, I can break the speed of light? Look out, John Force! Here I come! tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocab72 Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 The thumbrule I use is 7lbs == 1hp. Dropping 7lbs equates to adding 1hp. I say dropping 38 lbs is equivalent to 5.4hp a gain. Have you tried this in CarTest2000 yet? ie drop off 70lbs one car and add 10hp to another, assuming identical cars see if it yeilds eq performance. or 700lbs / 100hp, etc then adjust until they are equal, that should give you a good estimate!

Mr. Jones Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Where can A person get ahold of this "cartest2000" ? It seems like a very useful program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocab72 Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 CarTest 2000 is an automobile maximum acceleration computer simulation. The program uses the specifications for an automobile to mathematically accelerate the car from a standing or rolling start until maximum speed is reached. The simulation is time-based and event-driven. That is, the acceleration times are not explicitly calculated but, rather, time progresses at small increments and the usual events that take place during acceleration: clutch dump, wheelspin, shifting, etc. happen in proper course. The acceleration times are arbitrary milestones that are reached during the car's response to these events. http://www.cartest2000.com k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
