Buddy of mine is finishing his car...
Oldsmobile aurora, v8 engine from Cadillac northstar, straight glass packs, intake. Pushing about 330whp
Me, 07 GXP, intake exhaust. Pushing about 330 as well (not tested, but hoping that's what I'm at, no chance to hit dyno)
1/4 mile on the track, then more fun after, think he has a better shot?
08-13-2011
No.
He isn't making 330WHP.
Your not making 330 either.
I/E GXP is around 260-270 to the wheels.
You'd win...but...just go race him. Because...what's the fun in racing if you already know the outcome.
08-13-2011
Good point blue...but thought stock GXP was 303?
08-13-2011
Sure...to the crank.
Which isn't WHP...like you were talking...and they normally make about 50 less to the tire.
08-13-2011
303 at the crank.
edit: damn blue and his quick replies.

drivetrain loss dude

Not always accurate, but fun to play with...

The day a 4.0L Dorkshart makes 330 with those creds, I'm buying a 4 banger Camry.

Mine did 230 on a Mustang dyno after tuning...CAI, but stock exhaust
230 x 1.16 = 266.8 approx. dynojet translation. Sounds about right.

He's running a northstar? Don't worry, it'll break.
08-14-2011
You'll beat the aurora it's only 250hp at the crank if its a 95-99. I'm not sure what the newer one's put out but it's not anywhere close to 330.

Regardless if he has more power if you hook out of the hole he will have to fetch you.
08-14-2011
You got thiiiiis.

Aurora was like 300 or 400 lbs more in weight to with the northstar...er' something close to that. Youll launch way quicker with the low end torque I would wager.
08-14-2011
Put 500 on it you'll smoke em
08-14-2011
Wait...someone built an Aurora?
08-18-2011
They are very slow cars. My buddy has one with the v8 and its quick but not fast. Im neck to neck with him everytime. In your gxp you should smoke. I never knew they were putting out 300hp?
08-18-2011
They aren't.
