Question 123mph trap speeds. What rwhp does this equate to?

60 ft is around 1.85 on ET streets the eight is close to 100mph don't have the exact number w/ a average reaction time of .560-.590.
LS1 stage II heads/cam 224/227 114LSA .585lift/dyna tech headers/slp exh/ 3.89 rear on a 9".

This isn't my car but he's someone I've raced before and will race again in Sept. Him on ET's me on SZ50's he gets me out of the whole everytime naturally but I catch him by the 1/8 and hold steady slightly falling off at the very end. Stk rearend & 3.23's hurt me.

Previous 1/8's we've done my best 8.1 @ 91mph and his was 7.8 92mph but he's on ET streets. This was 2 months ago.

Thanks for any incite esp on rwhp figures.

ASSuming his car weighs ~ 3600 lbs., 123 mph should be ~ 460-480 rwhp.

I know a guy from the track who runs a LS1 M6, with a LS6 head cam setup who has 420 RWHP He traps 117-120. 11.6's when he isn't breaking the rear. I'd guess you have atleast 440 RWHP,

Those 1/8 mile time/mph don't match up to the 123 mph trap speed. Given those 1/8 mile times/mph, I'd say ~ 350-360 rwhp.

Yeah I know the 1/8th don't match. But that was from 2 months ago too though. The times listed are from last wk in the 1st para.
Correction on his heads though LS6 Stage 2's. Katech did his head and cam setup and told him 480 fly on his Firehawk. Don't have dyno's here so we'll never know for sure. But I know it's more than that.
I won't have no times til Sept but I'll post 'em when I get 'em.

Just based on my 1/8th where do I stand? Forgot to mention his time 11.85/11.76 nothing lower though.
Thanks guys!
