I put my ET and MPH in and it came out to 194HP which is probbaly about right. Doesn't say if it's RWHP or HP.

EDIT, I must have been using another one and just posted.

206 at the engine and a whooping 174 at the wheels! Not bad for a completely stock 145,000 miles 86 5.0

doesnt seem to be very accurate. there are too many factors to take into consideration tho such as drag and traction and driver ability

i dont think its right cause i put in a 3000 pund car and an et of 13.5 and it came out to about 214 rwhp which is only like 255-260 at crank..... but i guess thats easy with a sper good driver and good tires and suspension
