How accurate are these things? Anyone actually know? There are two methods I've seen (using either trap speed or et) and I'm curious to see how close they actually are to being right.

Just think if you get gears and drop 0.5sec in ET, has your HP gone up?? I think going by the Trap speed may be a bit more accurate, but like AP said there ballpark figures.

Well using the trap speed I have 185 rwhp.
Using the quarter mile time I have 170 rwhp.

For what I've done to my car 185 rwhp seems a bit high.
