Most of the info is in the sig. I'm running a .028 nitrous jet in the fogger and a .055 in the plate. It comes in just under 3200 pounds at race weight with me in it.

Any guesses on how much power it takes to run 8.95 @ 151.6mph when the car weighs 3200 pounds?

Dragtimes calculator says "Horsepower @ flywheel = 876.18 HP", Fast Cool Cars calc says 876.2 rear wheel and 1095.3 flywheel. I'm sure the others will be all over the place as well depending on the DA and the drivetrain loss it is using to estimate.

Guess the best answer so far was from WS Sick
