The reason is because as the previous poster indicated, he is only showing the LNF at 260/260 standard HP/TQ and not the
GMPP graph as he did for the Cobalt.

True but our LNF just with the GMPP does 340 Tq at 2500 RPM's so with aftermarket Tunes that put the Tq even higher our shafts were never designed to take that much power.
Like I said find a TRUE Eddy current Dyno that is correctly calibrated and the WHP will not be like the other Dyno's.
WE have a Tuner in Canada that has one and the difference in WHP once the car goes to his shop is quite different.

im sorry *340 @ 2500, gmpp tune makes somewhere around that at peak and crank, not 2500 nor wheel. quoted wrong person sorry

Okay okay... 
Deep breaths everyone.

Fastest ecotech Kappa is TBD. Plenty of folks in the 12s.
Using maths, 350 at the wheels with the manual and correct rear end gears could, in theory, get to 12.0 if the car is somewhat stripped out.

Using math is easy ... doing it is the real thing and hardest... there are many ways something not to work as calculated and only few ways everything to be as planned ... racer boy

Congrats Jim!  You will get a plaque in the mail from Kelu for being the worlds fastest ecotec powered kappa.
Or quickest ecotec
Or shortest?

I'm not sure how time in the quarter mile is calculated.  For Kelu, since he is Norwegian, it's calculated in minutes and drachmas.

Awesome! I'm 5'8" tall (or short) so if that could be on the plaque as well, it will make it much more meaningful. I ran forty 1/4's or the way to work this morning and if it wasn't for all of the stop lights, I might have broken another record.

You could always just claim you broke the record it's not like you are going to have to post up proof.

Ihawk it sounds like you have a reasonable excuse, nothing to be embarrassed about.

I am not really sure why you keep debating this  figures.
Those are GM's figures for the GMPP tune update at 290 HP crank and 340 TQ and the 340 TQ comes up fully at 2500 RPM in GM's graph.
