5ktq Clutch upgrades? and car update...

[Cody Forbes]

Thats simmilar to what I said, even started with the same letter, but you have 1 letter too many! The standard for an AWD car is 20% drivetrain loss...thats would put my peak number at roughy 475hp at the flywheel, and the average @ 422hp. Just a touch shy of 500, and I promise everybody reading this that I'll pull that magic number very very soon. Honestly though a standard by no means matches every car, so maybe I have less drivetrain losss, maybe more. What I'm shooting for once I get a clutch is 400hp to the ground, which going by that standard would estimate me to the magic 5 number. Not bad for a 10v with *OVER* 200,000 miles on the STOCK bottom end eh? 

I just got in contact with an old friend, who told me he has a dyno now, but it's a 2wd. I figure I'll disconnect the driveshaft and givev it a go very soon to get some definate numbers.

    but I did get one run to show 385hp to the wheels peak, with 352hp to 
    the wheels average. Thats on the stock header (which I ported slightly), and 
    stock intercooler, and at 2.2bar absolute pressure.
