OK Guys,
The drag ute is putting out 380HP at the wheels, what are the formula's for converting to flywheel HP, 1/4 mile predictions ETC.
I have seen them on here, or the old site, but can't find.

Power (kW) = Power (HP) x 0.7457

Power (HP) = Power (kW) x 1.341

This is right isn't it?

So 283.37rwkw
