1/8 mile times with new engine

I got to a good 1/8 mile with the new bullet, has 2800 miles on it now, keep in mind this car has a very small cam(224/228@.050 112 LSA) small headers(1 5/8 mac shorties) no cutout(full SLP 2 OTL) no pullies, no electric water pump, and a portly race weight(3775 with driver) temp was in the mid/low 60's, 90% humidity, at sea level. I was happy with the MPH, any guesses on RWHP?

well, using a 1.55 correction factor, to convert your 1/8th time to a 1/4 mile time, I came up with 382 hp. Not sure how accurate, but it might be pretty close.

Here's the link for the hp calculator

I ran 8.05 in the 1/8th amd went 12.52@108mph but you will probably have a little better mph with a m6 and 4.10's. I then opened the n20 bottle and ripped a 7.42@93mph in the 1/8th Friday nite.
