Use the tables below to estimate performance....

Estimate HP from Trap Speed   Vehicle weight in pounds (including driver) lbs Trap speed at end of 1/4 mi in m.p.h. m.p.h. You are making : HP at the rear wheels and HP at the flywheel*. JavaScript must be enabled in your browser for the calculation to work. *Note:  Assuming a 18% drive train loss. Estimate HP from ET   Vehicle weight in pounds (including driver) lbs ET in seconds sec You are making : HP at the rear wheels and HP at the flywheel*. JavaScript must be enabled in your browser for the calculation to work. *Note:  Assuming a 18% drive train loss. Estimate Tire Diameter   Tire width - Series - Wheel Diameter Example 275 - 60 R 15 Tire Width Tire Series Wheel Diameter Tire diameter in inches JavaScript must be enabled in your browser for the calculation to work.   Estimate MPH for RPM range   Tire diameter   Gear Ratio This calculation assumes the car's transmission is in drive or 1:1 ratio, no overdrive. For Overdrive cars mutliply the overdrive ratio times the rear and gear ratio. Example a 700R4 transmission has an overdive ratio 0.7:1. For a 4.11 rear end multiply 4.11 x 0.7 = 2.877. Enter 2.877 as the number for the gear ratio to calculate speeds in overdive.
