Actually once you use it twice it is totally easy to work with.
You just have to figure out a max Gforce for your vehicle at the strip. I just went to smokemup.com and did a 60' to Gforce conversion and rounded it off to say 1.2 which should be near a 1.6 60' or so. The frontal area is the tough one for me since I couldn't find figures for a fullsize GM truck. Instead I used a round figure of 25 since the fullsize is bigger than the s10 Blazer.

Anyone want to take a stab at plugging in my numbers, I got lost with that program:
752rwhp
660rwtq
3450 raceweight
3.50 gear
28x10.5 slick
T400 gearing
5000 stall
shifting at 7000
Formula body style
21 psi boost
1.40 target 60ft

Okay. Using the 3450 lb raceweight and 1.5 for maximum G, which gives you a 60 foot of 1.439 along with a 0.34 cd and 21.6 ft^2 frontal area, you get a pass between 9.294 and 9.45 seconds at about 146.6 mph. I used 690 for average horsepower; I guessed that you get max torque around 5000 rpm and averaged that power with your maximum.
