Curt,
Those formulas are 50 years old. They are very simple and were close back when quick cars were running 11's. The farther you move from that point the farther off they get.

In scientific study when working with unknowns you try to use a known and see if the results look right. Lets take the 500 ci carb NHRA Pro Stocker which at a DA around 0 ran 6.45 @ 215 MPH. They weighted a minimum of 2350 lbs and had just under 1500 HP.

How close do any of the online calculators come to that HP?

Stan

Also most are for naturally aspirated engines.
Power adders make it a little different.

Maybe you should strap your BUTT into my car and we'll see how boring it is! (1.14 60' in a 3,200+ car is not boring) LOL!!


GTO George
Explain how turbo's are boring, Ever hit an east coast track let me know I'll give it a pass, maybe get that 7 second pass for ya!
Foolish by saying e heads are disappearing, then saying there is no fast e heads anymore. I don't have them but tons of people do!

Im not getting into a slower car..........that would be BORING! Gosh I hope you don't have a turbo car that would be double BORING!! LOL!
Never said they were disappearing, I said vanishing! Also didn't say there are no FAST e-headed cars out there! I said the quicker cars are trading in there E-heads for better heads! If you are gonna Quote me at least get it right! In my opinion Turbo cars are Boring (but getting better).......my opinion! I never said they weren't quick!

George you know disappearing and vanishing are synonyms right. What is so boring about turbos ? Technically superior to roots blowers. Makes power out of a waste product. Not parasitic.

Wasting your breath Dragncar, George is an old school, old fart, who can't afford a Proper Degree Wheel, (or other engine equipment), is a Bracket Racer, and hates Turbos because they are at least 2 seconds faster than his stuff.

Melissa Urist Mustang with a whimpy 1416 dynoed Twin Turbo HP 302 cid Mustang engine (Much smaller engine 200 less cubic inches, makes more hp vs George and she is an excellent bracket racer.)

He is more than welcome to try and qualify at the Throwdown in T-Town in his own back yard in a couple of weeks!
If I'm not mistaken it pays $10k to win since it's part of the Midwest promod series.
I mean he's already "beat a Hemi car at the track once this year"

Yes.............. I have a Dictionary, I was being a smart A$$!
Turbos make no noise and leave the line like Baby Diarrhea!
Yes I know about turbos all that plumbing is stupid.......roots blowers are so much cooler!
Turbos don't make great bracket cars , out of 600 RACE cars at Norwalk for their "10 Grand Nationals" there were WAY more belt driven blower cars then turbos! I was QUICKER then every TURBO car there!! LOL!
Back to topic.......... I also use to have e heads but stepped up (VANISHING).
How many heads up racers on this web site that have switched their e-heads? 3...4....5.......6?

With George and Jim, being Old Guys, it is all about "Cool" (Nothing More).

That is simple enough to understand, Dragncar. Make some noise, impress the grand kids.

Jason,
Do not confuse R/T with 60 foot times. You can still have a great R/T in a Yugo.

Who are you to tell HIM anything about drag racing. That guy is a racers racer, the real deal. Puts tones of effort into being behind the wheel of "his car" and helping out other big time racers while he is not driving.
Think he has forgot more than you ever knew about drag racing, but thats just my opinion.
Now if he could just get that ugly BBC out of his car. Its too pretty for that !

Yes George anyone can get a good reaction time. But it is a little different doing it in a 2000HP turbo monster that is tough to stage, on the street where you can blow the tires off and end up wrapped around a light pole in a split second.
That guy can drive.

Dragncar,
Over the years I have had many friendly conversation with Jason. So please stay out of other peoples business. All you keep doing is showing just how little you know. JMO
