I agree with Frank! Stick w/ 3.55-3.73 gears. You will not regret it :)Quote:

512HP at the crank is about 410RWHP; using the 20% drivetrain loss theory if using an automatic tranny. 483RWHP is closer to 600 at the crank.
I'm have a 5 speed tremec.Does anyone have a more accurate way of figuring flywheel hp?I've always heard 10-20% hp loss through a manual.
Safe bet is about %15 drivetrain loss thru a manual tranny.
Can someone post some pictures for me if I email them to you.Thanks..Matt
I do not believe in all that % losses through the drive train. Lets pick a nice number say 20%. If i have a motor that makes 300 r.w.h.p. and a motor that makes 500 r.w.h.p. running through the same drivetrain you are telling me that it takes 40 more h.p for the 500 horse motor to turn the drivetrain? The 300 r.w.h.p. should make 360 at the motor and the 500 r.w.h.p. should make 600 at the motor according to the 20% rule. I dont think so.
well, look at my profile and my mods, stock motor with novi 1000 and 340 at the wheels, just finishing up the top end in the next month or so with afr 165's, trickflow intake, 1.7's, accufab 70mmTB and 3.25" blower pulley, hope to be 500 at the wheels.
My .02 worth. Noone ever listens but I'm going to post anyway. Drivetrain losses on an AOD is generally 20-25% depending on buildup and torque converter. A T-5 generally has 16-17%. Tremecs usually have 17-19% depending on model.
As far as power goes on a Novi 1K, well, it depends on your car. Me personally, I think most 5.0's have aboout 350-400hp with a Novi 1K, depending on other mods. I've seen higher and I know it's possible but 350-400 is realistic for an every day driver. 4.6's seem like they have a bit more in them for some reason (99+ models), but nothing crazy.
Like I say, that's my 2 cents worth. I'd say I'm running in the 350-400 rwhp range. We'll see summer with the new mods.
:)
Here's my novi 1000 with stock pullies, a morpheus pipe and a C&L76. TW heads, HolleyII intake and the TFS#1 cam. I never got a dyno after i did the 8" crank pulley but i gained about 5-6mph in the 1/4 mile. ;)
What CID was on that dyno run?
