i think conversions have put me in the mid 15's? but that doesnt matter, conversions dont factor gearing, power curves, etc etc so i dont trust them.
Yeah, the calculator I use puts you at 15.56@88.16mph
How much does your car weigh.....I'll calculate your HP

1/8 x 1.56 = 1/4 time...

well.. thats the conversion... it works for MOST cars but some can be way off... like a weak car with a drag suspension and sicks, or a high hp car without much traction ... but if your not in either of those categories than it should be nearly dead on.

i have more exhaust than stock, its a sunroof car, rear battery, extra oil lines, intercooler, piping, turbo, and no spare. and i probably weigh like freakin 125 but i havent checked in a while. its a conservative estimate, but id say its better to overestimate than to say i have a fatter hp number than i really do. forgot, i have 17x9 cobra r's so that cant help either

showing a higher weight would show more hp on a calculator...

3150 lb car @ 88 mph would be about 170 engine hp

You can get your car weighed at a drag strip or I've know people to go truck scales.
Using 2900lbs, your flywheel HP calculated to 182HP
