Let's play, "Predict the HP Game" (take 2) ---- this time with a 3.6L ;-)

[JackMan]

Sweet, I just noticed I have officially become a Member, not a Junior Member. Now is that because I've posted a few times and graduated or because I bought an 89 911 for 20k, bought a few books from Wayne, and now I'm in full free fall down the slippery slope as I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild going to a 3.4 omg, omg, the money, so much money. Hey my kid doesn't need to go to college, I can teach him to wrench P-cars and make a fortune.

Wellbor

*** UPDATE ***

As of 6:30pm today (Friday 12/30/2005), the beast is back on the road.

A quick history of the delay to this contest:

Installed the new 3.6L engine. The same week, the trans decided to die.

Pulled the engine/trans and I decided to do the rebuild myself. I was a little chicken for sure.

I reviewed quite a few articles here on Pelican about how people did the job. Most made the job seem more difficult than it really is.

I proceeded to do the job myself. I replaced a ton of parts "while you're in there" just because. I specifically focused on all of the parts pertaining to 1st and 2nd gear. I didn't care if it looked good. It was replaced. No BS.

The payoff? It's the best shifting 915 I've driven to date. I am shocked at how good it shifts.

Bottom line: we are ready to rumble at the dyno.

Sorry for the delay guys... but all is good now.

I'll be on the dyno for sure next week.


PS> I'll be at TRE's Hangover Run on New Years Day. This will be my 2nd year on the run.

Based on your optimism and new tranny I will add 0.01hp to my prediction. That makes it 242.01 hp at rw.

[lowyder993s]

304.23...I just put my 3.2ss on the dyno. I'll post #'s after T's pull.

[Dean924s]

Ok after analyzing all the guesses I came up with the following

There are 47 guess

The high of 341.4 and a low of 242

The average of all the guesses is 286.2972

getting rid of the high and the low the average is 286.054939

Since I am a 924s/944/951 guy I have no clue what one of these cars will produce.

I will go by the #'s My guess is 286.054939

Here is a graph of the guesses so far.
