    Mitch Has one gear: GO

    Specs as follows:
    Ball bearing core uas turbos, 12.5 psi on eboost2
    Fmic, 2.5 exhaust.
    Street tyres, no traction.
    Rural airstrip, loose surface.
    9.456s 1/8 mile , 123.73km/h trap speed.

    How much power do I have!?
    I sort of missed a gear and had electrical issues on the day. Wheelspin for most of the distance of the track. I may have also been carrying full factory trim, plus a bit of extra weight in tools etc in the boot.

    Can post timeslip.

    Also, a mate of mine has a sr20t s13, and his trap speed was within a few km/h of a 550hp blown v8 ve commodore. He won by .02 of a second. Does this mean the s13 has 550hp too?

    Confused,
    A. Scientist.

    inb4 mungyZ and srb2nv argument.

    I don't think it works like that... an s13 will require less power to push it down the strip, as it is going to be a fair bit lighter than a VE...
    I'm sure one of the drag guys can explain everything

    Acceleration is many factors, power to weight is one of them.

    Mitch ... an important omission ... !!!!

    Need to know and factor in how much wind you were passing at the time ... technical description is the "oomph" output.

    I don't give two ****s about power I want to know when I line up my bitch will hold together eating the whole way and trump some ****er with a wicked dyno printout.

    But that's me.... Each to their own and all that. Everything is subjective
