boost : whp, ratio
you guys are gonna think im off my rocker haha but could it be true?
i have thrown some numbers together from some dyno comparisons i found.
What if you could say how much boost you have could get you a relatively close dyno estimate?
my math...
my first run 12.5# / 456whp = 2.74%
my latest run 14# / 495whp = 2.82%
07 GT/saleen blower 9# / 429whp = 2.1%
mikebna first run 12.5# / 464whp = 2.7%
notice the differences....
429 = 2.1
456 = 2.74
464 = 2.7
495 = 2.82
They seem to crawl up with power even though every car is different. This would tell me that the higher the power, the less power boost creates, which would make complete sense. For example, a jump from 5 to 6 lbs might give you 60 hp. 12 to 13 lbs might give you 15 hp. That being said...you could estimate that:
525whp should = appx. 2.9% (conservative) which would = 15.22#
550whp should = appx. 3.15% (conservative) which would = 17.33#
Therefore, you could predict mikebna to be approximately around 545-550 on the dyno if his boost is up in the 16 range. We will see if that's true when he posts up his numbers.
The question is...what kind of boost is a tuned 302 E that dyno's in at 589 whp making? must be somewhere below 16 if thats all the gauge allows for right?
Anyway, clearly im bored haha. ill do it for you...
