What the hell? "440 volts at 3,600 amps" WOW. What is that, like a million and a half WATTS? JUST WOW... that'd be over 2100 hp.
I think I need to read that again. The cables would be as big as my arm....
ah, okay, I went to his site. He's saying 800+ hp / 1800 lb feet of torque. Still, pretty amazing.

He's a member on www.vintage-mustang.com When he first came on he didn't give too much info. He sounded like a noob asking how to build a 1000 hp car. After seeing some posts of progress we took him seriously. http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/mo...echonolgy.htmlLast edited by Huskinhano; June 17, 2015, 02:30 PM.TomOverdrive is overrated

Watts equals amps times volts so... 440x3600=1,584,000 watts.
1 watt eqauls .00134102209 horsepower, we'll round it off to .00134. so .00134x1,584,000=2122.56
You are right in your calculations. What the hell??? Something is seriously not adding up. I can see him running those numbers with the equivalent of 800+hp, but if he was running 2100+hp, that would be closing in on pro mod territory, wouldn't it?
I like the car, I'm just perplexed by the gap in what it's power should be and what it actually is.I'm probably wrong

friction gains, power demands... it dies faster and faster to the goals max.
logarithmic.

OK, but we are talking about the number it should be putting out being 2 1/2 times the number that it is putting out. A 1300hp loss to run 800hp? That is a MASSIVE amount of loss.I'm probably wrong

I got to see it run at San Antonio Raceway last Friday it is all kind of wrong , like watching a vid without sound. The sound of the tires ripping against the pavement is about all the sound there is.
Driving past me in the pits after a pass it smells like the bumper cars at the Santa Monica Pier.
