And I myself have not seen a motor make more average power and not accelerate down the track faster.

I have been around dyno's for almost every day of the last 23 years, I have seen it more than 5 and less than 10 times that stick out in my mind. All where on fairly developed competition eliminator engines, all of which held the record in there respective classes at one time or another. Again, just because you have yet to see or recognize this does not mean it doesn't exist. I personally haven't seen the pyramids in Egypt, but I believe they exist. You guys may have not seen it strictly by a numbers basis, you aren't around the dyno enough yet.

Ok, i would not argue that. I can see it.

But still why do you feel that the mph is more of a validation of hp than a dyno that is designed to do just that, when it seems clear that you do not factor all of the variables that come with a particular vehicle. Imo it would be almost impossible to " accurately" calculate the true or total CD of a particular vehicle unless you were Ford GM or Chrysler or had their resources.

And so are we wasting our money on such things as front air dams, closing off the grill, $8000 transmissions ,ceramic bearings on the wheels and 3rd member and so on....? Now with that said i am looking for a range of et and mph out of a car for a particular dyno sheet, every time. But not to validate dyno numbers. More to see what is left to chase in the car and set up.

I never said any of that is a waste of money or time. You ever seen a graph of a car in high gear that looks like a horizontal line? I have, wasn't my stuff but some strange things were done to the engine to show big power and not accelerate good, guess what? It would not mph anywhere near what the dyno showed for power to be. When someone is racing at this type of level I guess I might sometimes assume that the basic aero things have been addressed. Probably not always the safest assumption to make on my part but for the purpose of this discussion I don't believe we are wondering about 1 to 1 1/2 mph.

Also I might add that the engines ability to accelerate back from a launch or recover from a shift is what I am talking about, if you don't believe that this will have an affect on mph as well as et I believe that you are mistaken. It needs to accelerate hard from 0-1320.

So I'm curious about how many mph we are "wondering" about?

Not 100 percent of the time...

Clearly more than 1 to 1 1/2 like I said... We aren't talking about something that shows within 20 or 30 horsepower as that could be more easily excused away by aero issues, that is kind of my point.

Dyno operators know what the "expected" loss will be when increasing acceleration rates. A higher loss than expected could predict how an engine will perform on the track. Most of us, however, have much more important work to accomplish on our limited dyno time.

Hahaha voodoo.
So it has happened 5 to 10 times over every day of 23 years of dyno time, and you are making this big of a deal about it? I dont get it? Sounds like you have a taste for voodoo Kool Aid. In the end we all have our own way, results are what counts(not methods) and those are found at the track, not dynos or flow benchs.

He is talking about the opposite here. A very high load very slow acceleration rate condition. Dan, Was this a very small engine high lbs per ci type class? Stan

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
See? |

It is all about acceleration. Would a motor with a very light piston,pin,rod combination accelerate faster then a motor with a very heavy piston,pin, rod combination? I'm not talking about gram differences but pounds. They could make the same power on the dyno since the dyno limits acceleration but one would go faster on the track. Same goes for cylinder head and intake design. Dynos limit the acceleration of a motor but the motor accelerates the car.

Acceleration is also Newtons 2nd law of physics.
