Default Can someone est. my hp/tq

I heard somewhere that you can estimate your hp/tq based on your quater mile trap speed and I was just curious as to what my estimated hp would be.

I ran a 13.9 @ 102 on street tires in a DC4 Integra.

I know thats what I need to do but I just cant stand the inaccuracy or inconsistency of dynos, every dyno reads different so its hard to get an honest number.

Wait so you are saying that dynos are too inconsistent so you would rather estimate it by going off of your trap speed? Without an actual weight of the car or anything...

But on a serious note you could pay like 75 dollars to get 3 pulls so you can have some legitimate numbers to back it up with

Go to GOOGLE
type in Horsepower Calculator or ET Estimate
pick one site, input your cars weight and ET and MPH
This will give you a very rough estimate. Most of these sites use rear wheel drive based calculations, so they have a higher drive train lose value in the calculations.
If you want a more exact number then you will need to get to a dyno.

I wouldn't take what the formula says as satisfaction.... There are too many factors which are uncontrollable which can influence your ET.... Such as track conditions, driver quality, etc... If your in for hp numbers, I'd strongly suggest a dyno....
