Each 10 degree F drop in temperature ~= +1 % gain in HP Each 10 lbs. removed ~= +1 HP for acceleration (top speed ~ unchanged) Each 10 HP added ~= +0.1 second in the 1/4 mile Engine HP & trap estimates, 1/4 mile run: HP ~= (trap/234)³ * Weight trap ~= 234 * ³v(HP / Weight) Click to expand... So according to this... My weight was 3620lbs with me in it. My best trap was 100.17mph. So... HP~ = (100.17/234)³ * 3620 = (0.43)³ * 3620 = 0.08 * 3620 = 289.60hp sweet.
