Default Help me understand this

On Saturday I went to the local 1/8 mile track to see shat the car would do with the new mods. Well it went from a 8.8 to a 8.37 <---best run. Now the dyno says I have only gain 8rwhp. Does 8rwhp make you drop half a sec? Maybe it was a good night

Why do people just look at peak power? You can cut off a lot of time by keeping the same peak power but increasing your low end and other ways. Try comparing the area under the curve and see how much that increased.

I'm talking the 1/2 a sec gain in the 1/8 mile. 8rwhp does that?
