Horse power
 
Hey I have a 1996 Eldo with the 275 N* V8.... Just wondering how much horsepower is getting to the front wheels? Also...I was able to do 115 at 3800 rpm on a stright highway... whats the top speed? I have dual flowmaster 40 series, a cold air intake and boshe 4 prong plugs, If anybody has any of these add ons, did they help your HP too?

Can't tell you for sure the horsepower at the wheels but all those things you put in maybe add no more than 10 - 15 horsepower. Basically you turned your ESC into a ETC.
btw, have you ran any wiring though the firewall into the car? im just curious because i'm having difficulty lookin for where to run a 2 gauge wire from the battery to the trunk.

At the wheels, 275 HP is aproximately 259 whp. I just put it in a kw to hp calculator.

I have a 98 eldo and ran A 0 guage wire through the front passenger fender. Sounds odd but should provide you with enough space and no visible wires.
