Re: Couple Of Questions
The marauder is dynoing lower becasue you are having to turn those big 18 inch back wheels. This translates into more drag. Think of the difference between an axle dyno(rarely used) and a wheel dyno. The axle dyno will always read higher because the engine is not having to spin the wheels.
Further info that supports my theory are the quarter mile times for the new naturally aspirated Saleen GT. Even though it has the usual engine mods and is rated at 325hp it is still slower in the 1/4 mile than a stock gt. 13.7 vs 13.5
Guess what? it has huge 20 inch rear wheels and bigger brakes which put more drag on the motor.
