Does this take into account the different gearing that Alberto is using?

Thanks for the link, now I don't have to pay to see what my DD would do

17.44@78.120

Also if I put that much stress on it, it would kill over quickly. I need to find a better DD car

I was just messing around with this thing. You've all been using WHP and not BHP correct? When the label on the calculator says "hp" I assume they mean BHP...

I take that back, WHP certainly seems to be the more believable of the calculations here. Obviously this is only a ballpark...

The link I posted doesn't use gearing as a factor. It has always seemed to predict the mph when using uncorrected DJ numbers. The MPH will give you an ideal of the power to weight ratio to a certain extent.

Another fun thing to mess with-it takes your 1/8 ET and trap and gives you 0-60MPH

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

Using my cleanest run to date with Greddy set-up, 7.1 sec and 94mph = 2.89 0-60mph

If you compare my cars time on slicks to say a supercar like an Enzo or Porsche GT considering they run slightly slower ET's with faster traps its right on...even my TN with less than 400whp was 3.5 0-60mph on slicks

They have some interesting calculators. Nice find!

Your 0-60mph is 2.6. Your 1/8 mile trap is beast!!

Using another calculator---> Your 60 Foot MPH is 48.99 MPH
