Way too little trans loss, as christian says max torque will be the 4000rpm figure, but max bhp should have been nearer 6K, no way it loses only 20bhp through trans though.

with 242 at the wheels it would be more likely 290 ish at the fly..
a 2wd car has around 17-18% loss

Rich mate if it makes you grin like a cheshire cat does it really matter what numbers it makes! You have built a tractable/torquey engine and car to go with it! Ideal for where we live in north wales. You also did this with no garage or specialist tools! Fair play to ya! Any way it sounded f**king awsome when you overtook me in conwy tunnel on the way home!

youve never been on a dd rr then???


iv probably had over a 1000 2wd cars on rrs that calculate a run down and have seen anything between 14-22% losses thats where the descrepencies come from and thats why the dd rrs i actualy agree with as the losses are set and thats 18% on a 2wd cossie..
