RTI RAMP SCORES

Postby Desert Dog » August 14th, 2010, 2:57 pm

Hey guys, I went to calculate some of our RTI scores from the High Road ramp but they are coming out very funky (worse than stock in many cases). That is obviously not a standard 20 degree ramp. Does anybody know the angle of the ramp so I can calculate our scores?

You sure your measuring it correctly? When I did it, it seemed fine. Remember its distance traveled up ramp (bottom of ramp to center hub) divided by wheel base of the vehicle. Than multiplied by 1000 = final score.

Distance = D
Wheel base = W
So it should be this...
D / W x1000= score

Hope this helps...

Absolutely positive, I did it with a calculator - then confirmed it with computer software. Its nowhere near 20 degrees. Im going to put an angle finder on it Monday. Larry was saying that HighRoad told him he had a 600 RTI score, when a bone-stock 2-door JK has a 720. My numbers confirm that the ramp is a higher angle than 20.

OK, I went down to 4WP today and confirmed that the ramp is not a regular 20* ramp. So I measured the height that we traveled from the ground and did a 20* RTI calculation based off of that, and confirmed with computer software. The results were very consistent with what I got on a real 20* ramp.

Awesome FJ (FJ Cruiser) = 105.9" WB = [b]RTI score of 635[/b]
BigDogg (4-door XJ) = 101.4" WB = [b]RTI score of 995[/b]
Moneypit (1987 Suburban) = 130" WB = [b]RTI score of 748[/b]
Casaintsfan (2-door JK) = 95.4" WB = [b]RTI score of 1080[/b]
Desert Dog (2-door JK) = 95.4" WB = [b]RTI score of 1142[/b]
TJer (LJ Wrangler) = 103.4" WB = [b]RTI score of 1089[/b]
migreenbuggi (JK unlimited) = 116" WB = [b]RTI score of 832[/b]

4WP is building a 20* ramp for customers to use.
