Well, we're getting a little bit of somewhere. We've gotten at least one, and maybe two points beaten into submission, but we continue to insist that I - and others - are somehow defying physics (or outright lying) about running xx ET with xxx HP.
Actually you are the one who started to get defensive
Wishfull thinking, shipmate. This is entertainment for me. I enjoy it.
while it may improve ET it does not matter much on the dyno which driveshaft you have.
Uh, it would be easier to comprehend what you are trying to say if you could please use a bit better grammar. However, lets run with this a minute. Why would it improve ET if not for an increase - however slight - in HP? Rotating mass is rotating mass - and it takes more power to accelerate a heavier rotating mass than it does a lighter rotating mass. I'm far from a physics expert, but this is 5th grade stuff.
object that is in motion tends to stay in motion.
Really. Wow. Now please see my statement just about this one about accelerating a heavy vs a light mass.
Once it is spinning at a certain rpm as on the dyno the dyno couldn't care less if it was solid cast iron for that matter.
My word. Have you ever been on a dyno? Do you stay at some "certain rpm" when getting a dyno graph for you car? I do not. Rather, we start at a given rpm and then accelerate to another given rpm, and use the dyno measurements for a variety of applications. Does the dyno care what ANYTHING is made of? No. However, everything else being equal, will a lighter rotating mass take less HP to turn than a heavier rotating mass? Yes. Can this not then potentially be measured on the dyno? Yes.
No offense, but Duh.
Also don't exagerate the difference is about 1-2 lb not 50 lbs.
The 50 lbs was an effort to make a point. It obviously went right by you. You are correct that the difference is not 50 lbs. It is more like 6 lbs. How do I know? I have, and have had, both of them, and have weighed both of them.
Talk about dense you are the one I said Once again read the rules for factory stock and see where youre assumptions are lacking.One assumption is that they are 3300 pound cars and that they are using cast iron stock heads.They arn't!!"
using cast iron stock heads
using cast iron stock heads
using cast iron stock heads
using cast iron stock heads
Do you see stock in there any??The only time I talked about factory stock rules.I printed it four times just so that you could make out the stock part.
Once again the heads on the 5.0s that are racing are not stock!!They never came on the car!!At least not the ones that win.
And, as you said, "once again" nobody is saying that the heads are "stock". They most certainly are stock casting, but the racers are using bigger valves and a good valve job.
Now yes they are iron not aluminum.And yes a car can make the necessary hp with iron heads.I was incorrect about an above statment about having to have aluminum heads but I never said that factory stock was allowed to run aluminum!!
Ok. Sure seemed like that is what you meant, but if you say you didn't, then I'm good with it.
It does and you will never beat physics.
Denial is a terrible thing. Those very same F/S cars that you first referenced to it all the time.
You have my sympathy.
There are many reasons why youre actual horspower at the rear wheels could be off from the dyno but It absolutly takes more then you keep stating to do it!!Physics again.
See above.
It takes a certain horsepower to accelerate a certain mass to a certain speed in a certain time period.Is that easy enough for you to understand?? Or are you being dense??
LOL. Correct. The problem is that your "numbers" are wrong. Also, there is more to it than simply power to weight. Traction and gearing (overall gearing) have a very big effect, as I'm sure you know. Or maybe you don't? Based on the above, I take the second option. No offense.
You are never going to convince me otherwise!!
That seems pretty obvious. Then again, you'll never convince a liberal that tax cuts are good either, but I digress.
So keep on writing back with the argument!
I shall continue to beat on this hard rock so long as it remains entertaining.
And I will keep on telling you you are wrong we can go on for weeks like this!!
Perhaps. See the above line about denial. Then go visit an NMRA event near you.
But thanks alot you have brought joy to my life I kinda like a good argument!!
I'm glad I brought you some "joy". As for this "arguement", it is hardly good - in the true sense. I state facts, you deny them. Fun? Sure. Good arguement? Nope.
Keep trying though.
