Just curious but what kind of hp losses would you expect to see lost to air drag at various points, like 40,60,80,90,100?
I did pick a G Meter over the winter just for fun and a comparison.

How do your results from the G meter compare? I used to have one and it was farily accurate AFTER you got off the line. Mine failed at the rubber ball mount.Originally Posted by Chalky
Haven't tried it yet. Possible give it a try over the weekend and post up my results.

Sorry but it has been to cold to get car to hook up. Throw in some rain/snow and just cold air. I will try and get some results soon with GTech.

im lost!!
I ended up selling the GTech so never did the comparison. I am still using the calc'd RWHP and it just seems difficult to get a reliable reading. I use 3rd gear but results are a bit inconsistent. The data is less than linear so it makes it hard to compare to back to back runs.

Wretched that we haven't solved it, yet. I know it sounds so simple. There are just so many things not adding up.
Like time after time I have heard that power is the same no matter what gear. Power doesn't care what RPM is doing. But torque does double as RPM doubles. Maybe we have the equation wrong then. Maybe there is a different way to calculate the whole equation.
Obviously the equation we have been shown to use doubles with lower gears....

It's all good.
So is the axle torque independent of engine torque? I would think that speed would affect axle torque but not engine torque

Axle torque is independent of engine torque. Engine power should not be independent of axle power.
