Alot of you probably know this, but for those that don't--A trip to the drag strip can help evaluate your mods. or check your stock HP.
Just use this formula--
HP=(MPH/234)cubed X Weight
For example lets say that our Busa ran 139 mph in the quarter. Here is what the equation would look like
HP=(139/234) cubed--you know to the 3rd power X the weight (725lbs.) 550 lbs. for the Bus + a 175lb rider.
.20960 X 725 = 151.96 HP
Its not perfect and assumes you have some ability at the strip. Trap speed shows HP.
