 Need to factor in the driver weight and then the difference that all the different mods make.
I'm assuming this calculator is telling you rear wheel hp? |
Yeah rwhp. I tried both ways with curb weight of 3750 lbs and with estimated real weight (curb weight + my weight of 145 lbs + 3/4 tank of gas) of 3950.
Using the ET and weight calculator I get 278 rwhp with 3950 lbs or 264 with 3750 lbs and a 14.1. So yeah my bad, use real weight. Bmorecam's 13.67 ET and estimated weight of 3900 lbs puts him at 301 rwhp. Now that I recall his 290 was almost for sure reading low so yes, use real weight for ET.
For speed and weight it gives me 297 hp for final speed 97.1 mph and 3950 lbs. So I advise to use the curb weight for that as real weight is too generous.
