Is that flywheel hp or wheel?? And which car are we talking about now? We've talked about GTI's, 1.6/7s, 2.0L 4th gen Beetles, etc... Which cars and which motors are you looking for information about?Quote:

Also, what exactly are you trying to prove here?? Once again, you bait me into these discussions, and then you just slam me left and right when I say something you don't agree with, or when I misread/miss something you've said/asked/stated... I have no problem "giving you the numbers", and you aren't going to make any headlines by suggesting that some of these cars need to be moved. We already know that. We can only do so much in one year and over this next year, one of the major goals of the ITAC is to strategically analyze ALL cars in IT and see what might need to be adjusted.
Oh, and one more thing... a 35% increase IS A HUGH increase... (or 32%, or 30%...) for IT prep... Which is why I think the stock hp numbers are low and the real numbers would equate to something more along the lines of a 20-25% increase... Unfortunately, I can't find the e-mails that detailed the power output of some VW motors out there, but I'll try to get them again to confirm what I'm saying... The numbers were more in the neighborhood of 109-115hp for a 1.6L ITC motor.
If your numbers are correct, then this car must run better than the sum of it's parts, because based on it's current classification, it's able to compete with and even out-compete the 510s out there with a 1.0pt deficit on wt/pwr ratio, which just doesn't make sense...
