If you want to see apporximately what you should be able to run in the 1/4 mile...

 

So you think that Stang of yours is gonna run a 10.0 at 136 on the juice?

 

Does that mean I have 270 HP?

 

How did you get that number, 240 looks better for you.

 

I assume he's going by trap speed, and a race weight of 3000 lbs....right?

 

looks like it, but I am going by et.

 

Trapspeed = 105 mph.

 

Here is link where you can put in your own weight, ET and ,Trap and it will give you power

aaahahaha, my auto has 243-249 horsepower. awesome. im guessing theyre going by a 3spd transmission or something like that and we all know that more speeds makes different times.

 

I want to see 9.9@137....I'm really shooting for low 11's on the motor. This thing sounds incredible.

 

that chart is completely useless. its basically saying that the 6spd guys running 13.8 @ 103mph have 250-280 hp...

 

Yeah. That's the point. If you want to know what it takes to get faster, it tells you approximately how much more power you need, or how much weight you need to reduce. If you think the chart is useless, than I think you are an idiot. Everyone that mods their car, and wants to ask "How fast will my car be after this mod?" will have a good estimate. How much fasster will the 6sp guy be if he adds a supercharger with an 80 hp gain?

 

The chart is based on cars going to the track with proper equipment. When you look at it in that light then the numbers all make sense.

It does not take into account a car that has no traction and spins. (ie street tires)

 

uhhh, you didnt say that to begin with.

 

From my personal experiences that chart isnt dead on but it gets you in the ball park mostly.
