Second, crank HP was determined using math, extrapolated from at the wheel measurements on a dyno. It is a calculation, done all the time. Removal of the engine is silly, unneccesary and represents two dimensional thinking.

$3,500.00 Was spent at Eurocharged on my NA. I have receipts.

$10,000 was what I and Bike Cop likely spent given the parts on the car and the extra wheels, tires and box of parts, pulleys, performance chips, and such that he handed me when I bought his SRT. Erik spent tons of dough at the track developing his car's performance. I have no documentation for some of it. So sue me.

You spend far to much time testing my facts, my spelling and logic. Of Teck9's $100K claim, you said nothing.

I'm currently in an existing relationship with someone else so ................

get a life.

You are getting me wrong again, I was wondering how you spent that money on "go faster gear" not tires,wheels, track time costs etc. Now I know you included these as well.
As to the crank versus wheel hp, I would think you would need quite a calculation to determine the crank hp using the wheel hp, losses are not linear as they compound as the hp increases. Well they did when I was studying mechanics. On the road or track there are a lot more losses to add to the equation.
The 100 k figure is BS and I did not bother to answer that one as everyone seemed to dismiss it as well.
