dyno numbers.

[9312v]

well got the truck on the dyno's at school and i put down on my best pull 225hp and 737 tq
but a good friend posed a reasonable question. how accurate are these numbers with a non lock up torque converter? i pulled in 3rd gear

Torque sounds off. Should be 2:1 at the most.

Isn't that what a torque converter does? It trades available engine rpm for more torque (and heat)?

I can't look it up here(at work), but there was some explaination on a companies site about how the shape of the blades in a torque are actually able to increase the amount of torque provided. It's something about how it moves the fluid around.

thats accurate of the power that makes it to the ground.....but like JQ said those numbers sound a little off in the ratio of hp to tq.

What kind of dyno? Mustang?
