Subject Author Date 202 horse... AT THE WHEELS... as for 340 horse... you mean 370 GROSS and to the wheels with a 3-1 gear ratio your lookin at most! AT MOST 240 horse..and with 11-1 compression.. which would run like SHIT on todays gas! cause you'd have to retard the timing, your lookin at about 200 even! LOL.. idiot, you sure dont use yer head much.. you obviously are still livin in the 70's, where is was actually good to have anything over 9-1 compression!.. now my car is built for that and without CATS, and other emissions im lookin at at least 240 to thw wheels.. NUFF SAID! (NT) Chris 17:55:36 12/08/02 Sun who think's 370 horse is (to the wheels) well your wrong.. the 370 horse on a 429 is rated gross.. and net means runnin thru the drive line/ diff/ gears and all equipement running! BUT the major key is the gears.. and if you have 3-1 gears you must be lookin for at LEAST 140 horse loss! YET i tell you the 78 has 350 horse (specs from the builder) you say NOOO! BUT with 3-1 gears your lookin at 200-210 to the wheels.. hmm isnt that what sanow said! and if your not runnin emissions then u get away with 240+ LIKE MINE,.. anyways i'm gone for a few days, when I get back ill continue TEACHIN you's -- Chris, 18:08:26 12/08/02 Sun Not me! Can you read? Anyone in the hobby can verify the accuracv of what I previously stated! -- "Who said 370 HP to the rear wheels", 10:03:42 12/09/02 Mon
