13.2 horsepower

I was wondering if any of you guys that ran a 13.3-13.1 would happen to have dynoed your car before or after your run.I just want to know what kind of horsepower I'm producing.

ET is not a very good indication of HP, you are better off looking at your trap speed. With your 103 mph trap speed I would estimate around 280 rwhp.

I'd say 290-300 rwhp

I run 102 mph traps and have 282 rwhp

Agreed, I know of a few auto LT1s with CAI, full exhaust, high-stall and gears turning 12s at 104-105. Yet many 300+rwhp cars can barely nab 13.2s at over 105. I saw an old school chevelle turn an 11 sec time slip at about 107mph, and you know that 107mph traps aren't very indicative of an 11sec run. Suspension and launch have a huge effect on et.
