2.3 second 60' time = 35.5 mph @60' = 7.0 second 0-60mph time
2.2 second 60' time = 37.1 mph @60' = 6.5 second 0-60mph time
2.1 second 60' time = 38.9 mph @60' = 5.9 second 0-60mph time
2.0 second 60' time = 40.9 mph @60' = 5.2 second 0-60mph time
1.9 second 60' time = 43.0 mph @60' = 4.6 second 0-60mph time
1.8 second 60' time = 45.5 mph @60' = 4.0 second 0-60mph time
1.7 second 60' time = 48.1 mph @60' = 3.4 second 0-60mph time
1.6 second 60' time = 51.1 mph @60' = 2.9 second 0-60mph time
1.5 second 60' time = 54.5 mph @60' = 2.2 second 0-60mph time
1.4 second 60' time = 58.4 mph @60' = 1.5 second 0-60mph time
1.36 second 60' time = 60.0 mph @60' = 1.36 second 0-60mph time
1.3 second 60' time = 62.9 mph @60' = 1.2 second 0-60mph time
1.2 second 60' time = 68.1 mph @60' = 1.1 second 0-60mph time
1.1 second 60' time = 74.3 mph @60' = 0.9 second 0-60mph time
1.0 second 60' time = 81.8 mph @60' = 0.7 second 0-60mph time


.
my srt8 charger does that for me in-dash. efi logging does it for me for the SS.

An oldie but goodie for some drivers:

f = m*a

Where:
f = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

Here's one for figuring out how much your project will cost:

"Planned Budget" x C = "Actual Cost"



C is the constant, see below:

For a simple stock rebuild - 1.5
For an 11 second project - 1.9
For a 10 second project - 2.5
For a 9 second project - 3.25
For an 8 second project - 5
For a "budget nitrous" project you'll have to do the formula twice, once with C=1.5 and the second with C=2.5 for when it all blows up.


Hope this helps...
