Default If I'm trapping at 94mph in the 1/8th...

...what would that indicate for my typical power levels? My best dyno has been at 410/390, but my MPH seems high to me for such a low HP rating.

BTW, my best 60ft has been 2.2 seconds

I trap 95.6 untuned, 3400 raceweight with a cam only setup.... 400-410rwhp Max.

Trap seems right on part with a full weight 410 rwhp car near or around sea level. 94 is 119-120 in the 1/4th.


Edit, I see you are in a GTO.... then yes that is a bit high for a 3800raceweight car.

If you are spinning and you clearly are with that 2.2 crap 60 ft then it is hard to say what kind of power you are making because the more you spin the higher your MPH will be.

Typically only a couple though.

ET is chassis
MPH is HP
For the most part

horsepower has a lot to do with it.
if you spin and bog, that will kill mph.


whats your ET at that mph?
