You can plug in 1/4 mile ETs, or trap speeds to estimate hp.  My last
dyno run indicated 442whp... SAE corrected, which is 350.8
uncorrected.>>>



Hmmmm...  as much as it'd be fun to agree with the results on that
calculator...

I plug in say 4000 lbs (Ms. Piggy mit me and fuel), and my last year's
best 1/4 mile E/T of 96.75mph (sea level, 90 degrees, pretty mild
launches with 2.1s 60')...  and the calculator shows me 282.73whp.  

Now wouldn't that be nice, I'm sure Mihnea'd be thrilled!  My car is his
chip on a lowly K24, LWFW, some other bs stuff like removed MAF screens
and tbody restrictor plate and cat back exhaust.  

If I divide 286 by say a (probably conservative) 80% transmission
correction factor, that gives me 353.4 crank?  

No frickin way 8-).  Silly calculator.

But hey I've yet to get my car on the rollers.  Sounds kinda off, even
if you don't use a TCF.  I mean, it does run like a muther f'er and I
can (and do) hand just about anyone their arse on the road, just
doubting 286whp.

Regardless, keep up the good work out there Dave, great to see empirical
testing, etc.  Good for you.  Have FUN!
