Question I know this is a stupid pointless exercise but...

Estimated flywheel HP with following mods?

Streetport - 30hp?
Downpipe, dual 4" midpipe, catback - 30hp?
intake - 10hp?
medium size stock mount IC - 15hp?
PowerFC - 0 hp
12psi, non-seq - 0hp (base maps)
so maybe +85HP flywheel? 255 + 85 = 340?

I have other mods, I just listed the power adders :-)

You're probably making around 320-340 to the ground with those mods. Flywheel numbers are TOTALLY irrelevant unless you have the motor out on a flywheel dyno.

Find a nearby dyno and get real numbers. Heck, you could have worn plugs and a boost leak and only be making 220 to the ground .

I would get it dyno'd but it's not registered right now and I'd have to drive a couple hours to get to one (Reno or Sacramento). This is purely for armchair racing :-D
I under stand that flywheel numbers are irrelevant to real life, but I just want to compare numbers with other vehicles. It makes me understand why that 350Z I test drove seemed so slow...
