166.4 horse power! is not worth celebrating.lol.
Does anyone remember the "G Tech" ? Ahh 90s technology. (I know an 8$ app will do this now)
Now that the Mutt II is running pretty good, I pulled the meter out of moth balls and spent the last week fiddling with it.
Kind of Surprised it still works .
Listed car weight at 3300 so numbers might be inflated
Best so far is long 2nd gear highway pull
better than all the 90 hp readings on stock 1 to 2 shift
Haven't got a good 1/8 mile reading yet still trying.
This is not Flywheel or wheel horse power but net horsepower used, what ever that means
Math
166.4 HP X 1.25 (Autotrans calc) = 208HP at flywheel
The 1966 ~ 2 barrel 289 was rated at 200HP
This Has stock 5.0 cam, HEI, and the 390ci two barrel carb on her.
Wonder how close to reality this is?
Is that the wrong trans calc?
Maybe I should use a different car weight like 3600? for my fat ass.
Whats a mustang 2 weigh loaded?
I know at this level of horse power no one really cares and it is barely above boring.
But its funner to drive slow cars fast than fast cars slow!
I just want base lines for the improvements to come.
