Last night our car club had its meeting at a dyno shop. We made pulls on 4 different cars. All the results were about what we expected but one.
They did a pull on a nitrous Viper(200 shot) spray comes on at 3000 rpm. it made 625 rwhp, but the torque makes me wonder. 974 ft lbs. The graph for Tourque has a spike to 974 @3000 rpm,but 500 rpms later it drops by 350 lbs. and maintains for a while.
I figured tire spin, but I know nothing about chassis dynos. i know Hp is factored from torque. Not trying to put hammer the owner, but it looked a bit odd .
what do you guys think?
