Power equations where you put in gear ratio? Gear ratio is not part of the equation. torque is derived from F= Mass x Acceleration . We know the mass of the drums and the Acceleration of the drums. Therefore, we know the torque that was applied at a given point in time. Basic Physics. You should know this from your background. So your tranny multiplies torque. It doesn't increase HP. Remember torque is only one part of the equations for HP which is Torque x RPM/ 5252. RPM is another. The higher torque lower the RPM. The HP didn't change just the torque and rpm. Remember the dynojet is measuring how fast you can accelerate the drums and how many rotations it did and how long it took. All variables to input into Power = Work / Time Work = Force(torque) x Distance (circumference of drum x # Of rotations) Force = Mass x Acceleration The only input you need from the vehichle is to get the RPM signal for the HP equation.
