Default online horsepower calculator question

I just put in my numbers into the horsepower calculator and i got 2 very different numbers based on trap speed or et. I was told that the et calculation is based on a 60' or 2.1sec.

the trap speed one says i'm making 483rwhp. Is that even possible? 6140lbs race weight, 13.35@100.29mph

I need to get on the dyno at Dez soon to find out.

Which calculator did you use, and where is it on the net? Seems to be pretty close but I'm using Flywheel calcs and having to figure out rwhp from there.

If you are spinning alot, use your trap speed it will be more accurate. Try this one Jimbob.

My 5.3 with 9lbs is making 413 so, I would say it is very possible with a 6.0 and 10lbs.

On a side note: the calc says I should run 14.05 @ 97mph, Yea Right! Maybe 14.99
