RE: [Chevelle-list] Horse power?

Did Desktop Dyno take the altitude into account? 500 à 301 is a big drop.   Having just gotten back from skiing in Colorado, I can personally vouch for the difficulty of breathing at altitude!   -Dave   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Thorpe Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 4:29 PM To: Chevelle-list Subject: [Chevelle-list] Horse power?   I just had my 66 dynoed. I had put in a worked 454. The desk top dyno quoted 500HP at the crank. This was done at 5500 ft elevation. The results were: 301 HP at the wheels. I was hoping for at least 330HP. The car has a TH400 tranny. Does this sound about right to you guys? How much does  the 400 use?   Thanks 66 Jack Montrose Colorado     Jack Thorpe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
