that is the problem with using a ..."calculator"..
it is not allways real world


and it does not replace common sence or experience at the racetrack....

 

but the horsepower required is pretty accurate..not by my or some "calculator"..
....but rather actual dyno run and then track run testing...

 

I would say 750 would put you in the ballpark, is that the weight with the driver. if not 750hp might be a little slower then what you are looking for.

 

With 700 rear wheel hp through an auto weighing 3500 with me I ran 9.69@142 with a 1.52 sixty.

 

so with 700hp at the wheels. that would make it 800-825 at the crank and you went 9.69. that don't add up, maybe it was high altitude. but that should be faster than that.

 

Not high altitude at all. I live in Illinois. That was in 2009 and now that I am thinking about it. I made 700 to the wheels but I did back the timing off a bit for the track so it was making a small amount less then that when I was actually at the track. I was still learning the blower set up. But then my sixties were also horrible. That was with 10lbs boost and on 92 octane. I have obviously learned a lot since '09.

 

^^^^he had a 1.52 60'.........thats why...

 

I don't make 750hp but do go 9.6 @ 140 in a 3300lb car.

 

With a good chassis and the tricks done to it, it could easily be done with less than 750.

 

I agree ^^^^^^^^^

 

Wallace Racing Calculator says:
Your HP is 771.54 computed from your vehicle weight of 3400 pounds and ET of 9.55 seconds.
This is just a guesstimate, has a lot to do with air.

 

775 might get you there.

 

1.40 60ft 3400lb car with a th400 and 600hp Crank will go 10.0's at 131mph in good air on the east coast.
Alot depends on the chassis/convertor/gear set up

 

600 at the crank....3400 lbs.......no way it'll go 10.0s.

 

Best pass to date 9.681 at 137+ mph. Atco raceway, late November air. Race weight was 3300. Motor makes 620 hp at the crank. Manual trans G-Force G101.

 

Sweet
Love the Olds !!!

 

crankshaft hp

 

mine chassis dynoed at 627hp and would do 9.7@138 3380lbs
