Default something just doesnt work out with my trap speed...

so i was lookin at my mph from the last time i went to the track... and the best one was a 94.91mph.

i used one of those "hp from mph" calculators and put in 4500lbs for my ex cab, and 94.91, it told me it would take right at 300rhwp... hmm... haha

since i pulled 243rwhp on my last dyno, and i was sprayin 100shot, i think my truck is dumb and needs to go back to school...
243rwhp+100rwhp=300rwhp
(wheres the other 40 or so?????)

im guessing i had alot of knock or something that run, i plan on getting some autotap logs soon w/ spray to see how it works out on the computer so that should help me

Extended cab truck with driver and some gas should be more along the lines of 5000 lbs. My Standard cab Short Bed with me and some gas in it are a good 4500 lbs.

Just think...if you had an F-body drop your times a whole second and some for the weight savings.

You should be running along the lines of a high 13 or low 14 dependant on your other mods. I ran 13.1's only spraying after the 60ft, with the converter tires and the direct-port manifold I should see low 12's.

yeah when we put the kit on we were hoping that w/ intake/exhuast/hypertech/hamms/and the 100shot i would be running low 14s (4.8l)

i turned on my nitrous tonight, felt really strong through the mid range but not as powerful past like 4500 so im wondering if im not getting any fuel and a whole crapload of kr came on or something, im gonna stay away from bottle till i get an autotap run i guess now (hopefully this weekend)
