the motor, a 150 shot that is making 150 to the wheels or a 200 shot that is making 150 to the wheels.

just wondering if the size of the shot is whats dangerous or if its the horsepower it produces thats dangerous(given the setup)

thanks

 

it's about the same amount of nitrous going inside the engine

 

What is dangerous is the combustion chamber pressures... if the pressure exceeds what is safe for the components, you've exceeded your desirable goal. Seems like common sense, but your hypereutechtic pistons are the weakest link. The ring lands are vulnerable to crushing with the pressures that exceed 150 HP at the wheels... That is the same for Superchargine or Turbos too. Few go above 150 but their engines are in great shape.

Most go to forged pistons when they can.

 

If they are both making 150hp to the rear wheels, then they are making the same power, and should be the same. If they are both "supposed" to be rear wheel hp jetting, then the 200 that is only making 150 would be worse. It isnt making the hp it is supposed to, so something isnt "right".

 

Most horsepower ratings (and similar brake horsepower tests BHP) are done at the flywheel. However, as performance enthusiasts, we count what hits the pavement.

200 hp at the fly and 150 at the wheels is more of a drop than expected even with the parasitic absorption in an Automatic Transmission at 18%-22% loss.

Again, if a company says it is 150 at the wheels, it really depends if the car is a manual or automatic... plus the differential will have a bit to say in parasitic absorption... plus the wheel weight with energies absorbed in rotating mass. There are several figures which can be calculated in the estimate of RWHP.

 

what i am saying is depending on the setup, like the cam or whatever.

ive seen cars that were set up to run on motor and only pick up 2/10 in the 1/8 on a 300 shot. like from 6.80 to 6.60.

and then some cars can pick that up on a 100 shot or less.

i was just saying that i dont think that it is hard on the motor if its not making hp
