How to convert MPH to HP??
What is the conversion if there is on for MPH to HP? The MPH on the run was 115 and I am curious what the HP would be (6spd car).
Any guesses if there isn't a converson? My guess is like 375rwhp. Does that seem close?

i think it is possible but it would be a mathematical formula a page long and come with a battery operated mathmatician to interpret it for you. more horsepower is quicker acceleration (obviously...) and it means top end... i got 300 horsepower and my top end is roughly 170... but its so much more complicated than that i've already got a headache...

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
It is a full weight 95 M6 camaro with head/cam stock gears. It trapped 115 in the 1/4.
I know 300rwhp ls1s trap 105. at sea level.
The above car was at sea level so I was just curious what it might be making to the ground. I haven't seen any sigs that could give me a better answer.
So if you are reading this and trap 115 or so, what is your RWHP?

OHHHHHH your looking for a comparison between hp #'s and the speed you trap at... i c

Dang...let's bash the guy for asking a simple question. 
I can't seem to find a very good equation. Here's one that I've had bookmarked for a while, but I think it seems off a bit.
