Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I have been testing a different fuel level sender system and am wondering about a relationship I might be seeing.
The actual odometer per tank is about 400 miles. The overhead mileage per tank is about 625 miles.
What I am wondering is: the odometer is actually the mileage for xx amount of fuel with my upgrades (dd2's, Scotty 2, ATS manifold, 4" exhaust, turbo etc.
The overhead distance reading is: some sort of a DC mileage and does not assume any sort of engine changes ie stock, it just reads the fuel level and assumes stock (I think).
Is there a relationship that can be made that would be able to tell you what the real day to day value of your upgrades over stock are?
1-(400/625) = 36%
Origional stock hp is 235.
235 hp+ (36% x 235 hp) = 319 hp
Do you think that is a reasonably true ballpark statement, or just "playing with numbers"?
Not dyno hp obviously, but day to day driving around hp. Dyno hp is probably a good bit higher. Mine is I think about 400 dyno hp roughly based on comparisons of my mods to others just like me that have dynoed.
