"It is impossible to calculate these values accuratly, this information should be used as a rough guide only."

It's a little on the high side give or take a few. I just cross referenced it's math with one of the Wallace Racing ET-MPH-HP calculators.
My last SS dyno'd 316/325
Your calculator says 370 crank
Wallace says 358 crank (based off actual ET/trap/weight)

If someone asks me how fast my car is, I'll generally show them a timeslip or quote the time on the slip, I won't tell them how much power it's making, but that's just me...
