hey thor,
i have heard the t350 and t400 take heaps hp, and the 9 inch diff heaps too.
i am guessing but every box and diff must take at least 5>10hp just to turn it, and the diffs about the same??
but i am not sure what hp relates to kw?

The amount of torque required to start a diff turning after o/haul is approx. 12 LB/IN. This is measuring the preload on the bearings, the friction in the gears and the drag on the seal and no other loads. The figure quoted doesnt include axles fitted. A

you tend to lose about 1/3 of your power through the driveline. I had my 148Kw Falcon dyno tuned and they managed to get it's RWKW up to 100. It was a manual so an auto would lose a bit more.

The formula for the relationship between torque and power is half way down this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower
