Power Check - Can Anyone Help?

[The Mafia]

Hey guys, a quick one.

Just went down to the local test and tune and managed to run a 13.8 at 110mph IN THE RAIN.

Stupid weather... IT was showering lightly on and off most of the night. I did 2 runs and went home.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of power if I am running 110mph? (Managed to fish tail the first 3 gears with semi slicks lol)

Thanks

at wsid in nsw with ideal temps and traction its high 12s

i ran 13.7 @ 105 and thats 13.01 @ wsid at that mph

so you should be mid to high 12s

I would say 230-240rwkw based on my own experience. But its a rough comparison as my car is a R31 2 door with an RB20.

I had 235rwkw and consistently ran 14 flats at 109mph. Yes, my car has setup issues and also has a twit trying to steer it.

110MPH trap speed would usually indicate a low to flat 12 potential. Keeping in mind you would need a perfect take off.

[Busky2k]

Its hard to judge because you didnt have proper traction. But if it were dry, 110mph I would say 220rwkw-ish. So mid 12s is achievable if you nail a wicked sik launch, but low 12s would still require a bit of work.

Running the 'perfect' pass is alot harder than it seems!

sorry about hte late replies, but thanks guys.

I'm definately running a lot more than 220rwkw though. I'd say closer to 250rwkw.

250rwkw should see you around the 118mph with a good launch. I ran 116mph with a little less than 250rwkw.

why not just dyno it.

[The Mafia]

why not just dyno it.

good point, but remember, the track doesn't lie.

I think I'll leave it be for the next race when its dry. Racing on a wet track was rediculous. Can't believe they let the event keep going.

Just gotta get that launch.

August 11th. I'll save this thread for then.

Mafia,

here's a handy little tool i use http://www.fastcoolcars.com/hp_calculator.htm

PS: don't forget to put the car weight in in Pounds.

[mad082]

i found that 1 a little bit weird. because you have to put in your E.T it throws the reading off.

try

http://www.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html

again it goes in pounds (times weight in kg's by 2.2), but you only have to put in the weight and the mph.

i was getting 171kph (dont know what that is in mph) at the traps and only pulling a 13.4 street tires though 200+ RWKW that was at WSID
