GEAR M UP Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I had this conversation last week with one of the magazine guys. Any estimates on what our drive train losses are? Two ways to look at it? 1. AWD dyno. 2. Front drive shaft out dyno. Let’s make this easy, stock truck, stock rims and tires, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 i would say around 18-21% without the front driveshaft and with all 4 spinning, i'd say around 20-23%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdss Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Dont we gain back the power we loose with the traction we get off the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 not really. awd vehicles lose alot of acceleration at the high end due to the extra drag. on top of that, a 2wd with proper setup isn't going to have much traction problem. there is usually an advantage on the street, but it's not usually there at the track.

It looking like big HP in this truck won't work....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I was kind of hoping Dennis would answer the question on the loss, but I guess he is too far along to do that now. I know he has access to an engine dyno. Too bad your tranny burped on ya. I thought I heard something pop in the first run. Wasn't sure if it was someone in the shop, or if it came from your truck. I'm guessing if the tranny went, then it was on it's last legs anyway. I would think your hp numbers NA with this motor, are about what you were with the stock motor and Radix. Couldn't be too far off, maybe 75hp?? Didn't you have some dyno numbers of your old setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
