Jackel is right, I'm not putting down 207, I'm putting down around 201
I used this forumla from Daytona:
Calculate HP From MPH and Weight
HP = (((MPH / 234)^3) * Weight)
I pluged in my peak MPH which was 92.04 and the weight that day with driver and cargo was 3306. And for the doubters this was not a 35* day, it was actually in the low 80's on this day. It was during a points day last spring. I'm sure Daytona will vouch for that
Here's the break down:
HP = (92.04 / 234)^3) x 3306
HP = (0.393333)^3) x 3306
HP = 0.06085303703 x 3306
HP = 201.1801404

This web site http://www.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html
I pluged in all the proper numbers in the proper places and the figures were EXACTLY the same
and on this page of the web site
http://www.race-cars.net/calculators...alculator.html
I pluged in 3306 for weight and 14.825 which is the fastest I ran at e-town, not at Atco which is a 14.539, and guess what it said, 200.54 at the wheels and 260.71 at the flywheel.
Hmmm let's see the 14.539 at 3260 (which was the weight that day, Less gas in the tank, no cooler for drinks (only there an hour) and no other cargo, jack and spare dumped out just like in other weights listed above)
And it's a little bit higher, it said 209.65 at the wheels and 272.55 at the flywheel, so I guess the cold weather did help, a little bit
So I am putting down 200, But I guess the sciene isn't enough. O well, I have to wait to get the car into my wife's school becuase they have a Mustang Dyno there, so maybe when I get some work done, I'll have it dynoed, but then you probably won't belive there either

no one cares about HP numbers, it's all about the track times
180HP bikes run 9s or less

formula schormula....
my car has actually been dynoed. i had 183whp and ran a 14.909. so what you are telling me is that you have less mods, 20 more whp, and only ran less than a tenth faster? GTFO.

^^ 14.5 is 1 tenth faster that 14.9?
Your just pissed off that I'm faster
really though I don't understand why your so pissed off or trying to prove me wrong, if I'm wrong, fine I'm wrong and I will own up to it after the car's dynoed, but until then I go by formula

I will eventually.
I was talking to the wife today about this thread (actually about 3 hours ago). She works at an Auto trannign school and they have a Mustang Dyno there. I want to get my car on it SOOOOOOO BAD, Both of them actually, but she's afraid to ask. Plus I just got a free aligment on the Delta, so she thinks she's gotta lay low of a while.
She is going to get my hood & fenders repainted before ASS '08, so maybe I get get it on the dyno then

by far the scariest thing ive ever done(108mph for 7 miles in medium to heavy traffic.
it was about 36*F outside at 30mins b4 sundown.
others ive raced - colbalt SS(4banger)2004, eclipse(v6)2000, alero(v6)2001(stock)
BTW, to all those who have a CAI, change it to a SRWAI in the winter, trust me theres no difference xcept with the SRWAI you get faster throttle response and improved low-end torque. GRREAT SUCCESS!
wanna see more, check out "Ma BeateR"

Someone really should give ya a good hard kick in the nuts. People like you give anyone who mods their car a bad name. Next time you race I hope you smash the hell outta your car without taking anyone else with you. Seriously, 108 in traffic, how many cars with carseats in them did you pass.

once my tune is uneffed i'll be getting another dyno done as well. here it costs $85 for 3 power pulls or you can rent it and do some tuning in between unlimited pulls for $125/hr.
