Worked out at 13.25 quarter. Pretty cool converter but unsure how accurate. Worked it out with track day tyres
would be interested to compare with real run does it take into account reaction and wheel spin or just a perfect run?

Reaction time doesn't matter at a drag strip, the time starts when you leave the line

I've run a few real figures through it and it's not bad.

It's got a bit of factoring in for traction i.e levels of horespower and what tyres are being run but this bit is rough.

If someone knows their actual figures then let me know all your details (car weight if it's stripped, power, tyres, 1/4 mile ET) and I will see where else I can make it a bit more accurate :)

Very cool tool though. 8-)

That's some good kw's Aza and the estimate is probably not far off.
Don Griffiths (redgpx username on the UK forum) ran a real 13.8 in his GPX manual which is stripped out a little and runs semi drags, you've got more power than him (he's got 210bhp at the fly = about 128.4kw @ wheels)

Thanks. It's all thanks to a fuel company that will stay unnamed supplying bad fuel. Extra work was put into the engine when it got fixed :twisted: .

Man, if only that fuel company would shell out for a turbo.

Bringing back the old puns. :lol:
