97 SHO WOT

What you're seeing is the normal function of the VAK, which disables the alternator among other things at full throttle to reduce the engine load from accessories. It works very well too! the Alternator is a bigger load than I thought. One time I had a relay failure in the VAK which caused the alternator to be off while idling. I flipped the override switch to turn it back on and the engine rpms dropped by about 350-400 before the computer compensated.

35hp and 30 ft-lbs. And thanks I will.

btw its ft-lbs not lb/ft.

your whole response is wrong and actually I was mistaken on the output of the 3.8 as well.

first, torque is measured in pounds per square feet....... therefore lbs/ft

3.4L V8- 235hp, 230 ft/lb per Ford.

3.8L V6- 205hp , 230lb/ft per GM.

Have fun trying to actually get any real power out of that V8....

@lurch1489
thought you were referring to to the Ford Duratec of the same era car.
No problem I know there's no way I'm going to get any more horsepower out of the 3.4, there's no aftermarket for it. That's why I also have a cammed Corvette. That's also bought a new 2010 SHO with the 365hp twin turbo V6 last week. Should be here before Christmas.
No one worry! I didn't trade my Vette or the G3 SHO for it. I wouldn't give those up.

Those 2010 SHOs w/ a tune can pretty much run 13 flat thanks to Direct Injection. Cammed corvette eh? that is more like it ;)

lol and I guess I am dumb, you are right.... It is ft-lbs..... I got my shit backwards....

@lurch1489
Happens to the best of us. Everyone is entitled to make a mistake now and then. I've made plenty.
pounds per square foot, which would be lbs/ft^2 by the way, is pressure.
torque is ft-lbs or Nm and is the magnitude of the force orthogonal to the radius from the center of rotation times the length of that radius.
aka t=F*r or t=r*F sin(theta) if the force is not orthogonal, where theta is the angle between the actual force and the orthogonal component.
