Horsepower Caclulator

Here's a simple calculator to figure out flywheel hp. All you need is weight, 1/4 mile time, and trap speed.

Last summer I did a 1/4 mile in 15.7 sec at 87mph. Just weighed my truck today with me in it and it comes in at about 6400lbs. When I ran the 1/4 I had the tailgate off, an almost empty tank, and everything out of the cab, so i guesstimate it at 6100lbs.
that gives me.....

312hp at the flywheel! I need run it again now that I've got it tuned better, redneck chimney mod, and K&N filter.

Trap speed is how fast you're going at the end of a 1/4 mile.
