That is a great time for that low of power and wieght. The only way I can explain that one is that you make more power moving down that track then sitting in a dyno room. Slight ram air effect, air density, and belt slippage all pay havoc. Plus scales at the tracks can be off. I've seen them be off by 100lbs before. So if you are making 15hp more and weigh 100#s less the math would be dead on. These formulas are just estimaters however. Based on physics but there are a lot of variables. Just wanted to give everyone here another tool to use.
How do the Eaton guys do it?

Most of these formulas are in fact calculating flywheel hp even though some claim it to be rear wheel. Most are the same formula I have used for years and it is pretty accurate, but for fwhp, not rwhp.
is anyone using the diablosport two step or just picking an rpm and leaving at wot on the ambers?
I just put mine on the limiter and let'r go!!!
This won't work for most cars, but my suspension is set up to launch harder the harder I hit it.... lots of money in my suspension though
x5 (I think there was 4 posted up) stock input shaft!!!
