New to the car world!!

[MrYoYo]

I was trying to get a understanding of what is a M6 & A4??? & Explain HP...I hear u have HP for the flywheel and RWHP...Would someone PLEASE explain

[Chris]

M6 is a manual 6 speed transmission, A4 Automatic would be a 4 speed. Your power at the flywheel is how much power the engine is producing before going through the rest of the drivetrain like the transmission and rear end. Those are all moving parts that will reduce power.

[Joker Z28]

RWHP in case you havent figured stands for Rear Wheel Horse Power, which like said above is the power left after going through the drivetrain.

Lol! Ive heard the term before but never knew what a "troll" was so i looked it up. From wikipedia...
Trolling is a game about identity deception, albeit one that is played without the consent of most of the players. The troll attempts to pass as a legitimate participant, sharing the group's common interests and concerns; the newsgroups members, if they are cognizant of trolls and other identity deceptions, attempt to both distinguish real from trolling postings, and upon judging a poster a troll, make the offending poster leave the group. Their success at the former depends on how well they –and the troll –understand identity cues; their success at the latter depends on whether the troll's enjoyment is sufficiently diminished or outweighed by the costs imposed by the group. Trolls can be costly in several ways. A troll can disrupt the discussion on a newsgroup, disseminate bad advice, and damage the feeling of trust in the newsgroup community. Furthermore, in a group that has become sensitized to trolling –where the rate of deception is high –many honestly naïve questions may be quickly rejected as trollings. This can be quite off-putting to the new user who upon venturing a first posting is immediately bombarded with angry accusations. Even if the accusation is unfounded, being branded a troll is quite damaging to one's online reputation.

If you are new to cars you may be new to web forums too. Generally if you come in a place and type like you do, seasoned users like myself and popo think it is a joke or troll. We have a good community here because we weed out the jokers and trolls pretty quick. As for your car, 350 rwhp is easy with boltons and a small cam. Good luck with it and do a lot of good research before you start wrenching on the car. There is a lot of bad info out there.

[MrYoYo]

I'm lost NW!!:confused:

[MrYoYo]

Awww OK..yeah I'm new to all this bt I apologize if I offended Anyone... And thanks for the info

I think this should be in a sticky somewhere along with maybe a list of basic newb q&a, and perhaps some ltx folklore, misinformation, and bad ideas.

[MrYoYo]

@Jay so what size is considered a small Cam...someone said something bout a 503 Cam..

[jaysz2893]

503 is about the biggest you want to run with a stock headed car. here is a good link for someone new to cars about lt1 cams:

I put 315 HP to the wheels without my small cam and a few other parts. With a good tune i hope to be over 340 when I get it all back together.

[MrYoYo]

Thanks a lot...that's some good information
