Default 900 HP in a 3200 lb car runs what????

Friend has a 900HP BBF in a 3200lb, ladder bar Mustang, what will he run? Where can I find the link to the formula to determine HP-vs-ET? Thanks, Shawn

It is a high (~12 to 1) compression 514" BBF, CJ alum heads mildly worked, BIG cam, and fogger kit. Motor has good rods, pistons, fuel system, and should hold 350-400 shot easily . (Or so we hope <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> ) Figure about 600 crank HP and 400 NOS hp, should = ~900RWHP, no? This is through a C6 and a 9". Thanks, Shawn

WOW 900 hp. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

If that thing stays together, she should fly. <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Here is a ET calculator that uses weight and hp. It's usually pretty accurate. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

900hp Should be good for some mid-high 8's. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

1000 at the crank equalling 900 at the wheels would be a %90 efficient transfer of power. That's a tall order through a C6 and a 9".

900 at the wheels should be EASY 8s at that weight.
