That is flywheel HP on a totaly optomised car/chassis like a super stock ,or stock eliminator. On a truck, 4x4, or AWD vehical probably closer to RWHP.

That thing isn't even close unless it is flywheel hp and then it seems to be in the neighborhood of 20-40.

Has me @

Trap Speed Method: approx. 519 HP, trap speed is pretty far off

ET Method: approx. 574 HP = 20 percent loss in drive train which is close to my 464 rwhp

Here's one I was toying with at work the other day...not to steal any thunder here, but there's alot more options for flipping the equations around based on known variables:
