At the track ET is the combination of power, traction, driverskill, and how hard the driver is willing to beat their car. MPH is almost always indicative of horsepower. When my car was NA my best 1/4 was 13.58 at 101.7 now with my 6psi charger my new best 1/4 is 13.01 at 108.8 with an open rear. My highest trap speed was a 109.1 on a 13.2 pass. ( one legger in the box and wheel hop through 1st and 2nd.) So im obviously making enough power to go mid 12's once my rear is rebuilt.

"Talk is cheap. Take it to the track and prove your point!"
This is an absolutely pointless discussion.

How much road racing have you done?

25thmustang said:For the average guy the dyno will be a better indicator, for the racers, the track... I know what you mean and yes a dyno will show if power was gained or lost better than a track, but the fact remains it all depends on who wants to know, and what they want to know!
