HP calculator says i have 285 hp?
 

i plugged in my race weight with my mph and it says 285 hp, do u think i really have this much being i have no tune just a set of long tubes. my best trap speed was 106.47

RE: HP calculator says i have 285 hp?
 

i would have guessed more like 275, assuming stock you're 260 then maybe 15 more for the LT's. what about your midpipe? thats a very good time btw.

RE: HP calculator says i have 285 hp?
 

mid to top is by far the best, its got decent torque down low but untill it hits 4k it really doesnt seems to do much. my 1/8th mile time i think my best is 8.6?? @ 83 sumthing with like a 2.0 60ft. ive never been better than a 2.0 60ft. these times were on stock pirellis

Nice numbers!
It's possible that your car is a factory freak, and was producingmore than normal power when stock.
Out of curiosity, if your car is a manual, then what are your launch and shift rpm's? Also, what were the ambient temperature, altitude, and track conditionforthatlow 13 sec.run?

thats a really good 1/4 time for your mods!

thanx guys, as for temp and altitute it was about 55 degrees at norwalk raceway in ohio. ive ran my best there but i run consistant 13.2-13.4's at dragway 42 in ohio. i live about 10 minutes away from 42 so i race there atleast once a week with every vehicle ive owned...i think im addicted. as for launching i usually slip the clutch around 4500 lol. i know im whopping my clutch because the car has 7k miles on it and i can already feel the clutch getting weak. if i didnt have 3.31 gears and i had stickier tires i would have to slip it. if i dont it either spins bad or bogs really bad. wish i had 4.10's lol

RE: HP calculator says i have 285 hp?
 

Nice runs, in spite of the bog.
3500-4500 rpm isprobably the best range for launching S197's with stock gearsandtires, even though it is hard on the clutch. Also, if the track is not prepped, then 50-60 F is about the ideal temperature for getting good runs with these cars, because they produce more power at those lower tempsbutcan still get decent traction. At temps lower than 50 F theyproduce even more power,but unfortunatelyreducedtractionnow becomes a problem.
BTW, what are your shift rpms?

Silly question, but why did you opt for the long term headers as your first mod as opposed to a CAI and tune? Isa tunein your future?
