Default Dime Rocket HP Computation

Well, not exactly, because of the body I'd need, but now that I have your attention;

Does anyone have the program software where we could plug in the values and get a close approximation?
Thanks in advance

After last weekend's heads up race with Robert in the Mustang I used the Wallace calculator to see the HP difference between his car/ weight and my car/ weight. I actually make more HP. But to keep up I need 40 more. Back to tuning!

Back in the mid/late 90's you could get the desk top dyno program for your engine,you could try different cams at various C/L's etc. that made the most power.Then you would plug the info into a simulator program that would predict your ET and MPH.You could plug in different weight, shift points,conv.stall,rear gear etc.On my car it was pretty close.Nowadays Wallace calculators has a lot of options for predictions.You would need your RW hp and weight,and the price is right FREE !!... gsa612

Just a figure of speech ,Billy Boy.
Actually ,I don't know if the calculators would go that low.

I'll call you when I get caught up. You probably already know most of this.

No. I have a lead of someone to call, but would rather kick it around with a racer on this site. I probably should have put this up in Tech , at least.
