Estimated Horsepower might be accurate, but the dame Estimated 1/4 E.T. sure is way off It says i should be running 1/2 a second faster

no, actually thats pretty bad. with 215 to the wheels weighting 2300 lbs, in an allmotor cars, you would be running 12.20 easy. maybe 12.10. the calculator is as off as all the other ones on the net.

for the record, my old NA car went 12.40's weighting 2300 and pulled like 205 on the dynojet.

this **** is way off for me

i put in 2500lbs with me in the car (91 gutted integra/i weigh 215lbs.) with I/H/E on the stock b18a. and i run a 15.2.........says i should have 182hp at the fly. BULLSHIT. i'd be lucky to be pushing anywhere near 150


Your integra weighs about 2500 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 15.2 seconds. That means that you've got about 140.70 HP at the wheels, and about 182.91 HP at the flywheel. &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;total BS

These things are never accurate for fwd vehicles, but it actually wasn't that far off for me. w/ 109 trap @ 2620lbs it says I made 265whp... which is pretty much dead on for when I ran 12.89 @ 109.. Then for ET it estimated it thinks I will run a 12.50 @ that power/weight.. Definitly possible if i ran it on slicks.

HEHE THIS THING IS A PRETTY COOL THING TO MESS AROUND WITH BUT I WOULDNT TRUST THIS JUST LIKE I WOULDNT EVEN TRUST A G TECH, ONLY WAY TO REALLY CALCULATE IS TO STAGE, LET THE LIGHTS DROP, AND GO FAST!

considering that its calculations are for rwd cars its pretty accurate for me. says that i should be in the 13.7@99 range if i am making 175-180 hp and weigh 2300lbs....
my current best is a 13.7@99.96 with a stock h22a in a gutted civic and my 220lbs in it.
