Tci calculator. It's all fly wheel HP...

Put in your mph and weight and it gives u what your engine HP is. Don't go by rwhp it's never right.

Yeah I didn't read it right. That mph for the lower figure looks better.

With new power u should be goin 130-140mph ruffly

thanks mate i was going to ask you that i was hoping for around 135mph, what et does that put me at with 135mph

Ur making around 740hp at the fly with 610 at the wheels. Ruffly 100hp is a good rule.

It says 10.08@ 134mph

But u can't go by the et's. They are in the perfect world. Ie: perfect setup, perfect track, perfect conditions and perfect run.

You use mph cause it never lies. It's takes a given power to move a given weight over 400m

you do not necessarily need to chase 400kw to keep up with the Joneses. it's been proven time and time again that with a well thought out set up you can have a ls1 powered Commodore doing 11 sec qtr's with only 270kw at wheels and for well under 20 grand. A cam with great mid range, 4.11 diff gears, 4000 stall, quality headers and exhaust, otr and a top notch tune to combine it all together. you may not be bragging about big numbers at your tyres but you certainly would have a 11 second street car that would hold its own. just my 2 cents.
