ChevyMan23 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well...according to a local SS here..hes not far from wrong....he put down less than 270 to the rear wheels.....i put down 220 stock in my 5.3.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSS Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Rule of thumb is 17% drivetrain loss for 2WD and 25% loss for AWD/4WD. So, 75% of 345 FWHP is 258.75 RWHP, so your friend is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum 1 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 The stock program forces the engine to shut down @100 mph. This allows you to only dyno the truck in second gear which nets low numbers. When I was bone stock I put down 278rwhp/301rwtq. He's low in his estimate but not too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenSStruck Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 tru, he told me the numbers he saw were off a rear wheel drive 06... Which i raced the other day and know the kid wont stop calling me cuz he wants his to be like mine.. i owned that new 06 sss (had exhaust and intake) like it was an s-10 and you can give it the extreme if you want!!!
