Nice one. Sounds like a bit of fun and friendly competition. Whats the criterea for winning, is it ET or terminal speed? I am guessing ET.

Okay, gotcha now. So highest BHP calculated from car weight and terminal MPH = winner.

Count me in. I'll come and register when I get there.

You still thinking of doing that bracket racing thing, or going to keep that for another time when there arent scales?

Doesnt matter because the formula will work it out as an example;

If you run 100mph and weighed 3000lbs it comes out 246.57bhp

If I run 105mph but weighed 2572lbs it comes out at 244.71bhp

So I'm actually lighter and faster than you but do not produce as much horsepower so you win

Yes Crofty you can do heads injectors pistons pulleys ex manifolds anything you like really apart from another power adder or water /alchol/cryo enhancments. If you do have these fitted to your car you can still run but you just have to prove to us there not connected.

With 256 you stand a good chance Graham, I forgot to point out that we were driving off the line at shakey and running 101 on runflats, then we were launching on the rev limiter with the slicks on and still running 101.

My point is that you dont have to abuse your clutch to win.
