LT1 guys trapping ~115 got a ?

What is your RWHP? I am curious what that trap speed correlates to HP wise. Thanks

tireburnin, make sure you ask for race weight as well. It will make a HUGE difference in power levels. Not at 115, but there is a guy here in a different post that said his mustang made 275 and he ran 108. My car made 270 and went 101. I think his car weighs 3300 lbs with him in it. Mine weighs almost 3400 without me, and I weigh 400.

I believe race weight is around 3550 give or take. Could be 3600. I did the math on one of the sites from another post I made, and it said around 375 - 390 at the wheels. Just curious what the real range was.

The run was mid 12 at 115. Don't know the 60' time but it was on street tires so above 2.0 and probably considerably with that much Hp on street tires.


(This isn't my car or I would just dyno it, trying to figure out another persons rwhp)
