Howdy guys,
Il try to make this clear for you all, i have played around with some drag racing calculators and would like some 2nd opinions... I own an FG XR6 manual N/A, i have run it at WSID, times below.. 1st Run, 15.097@97.19mph 2.456 60ft 2nd Run 14.918@95.94mph 2.374 60ft 3rd Run 15.178@97.37mph 2.574 60ft with me in it the car weighed 1824kg or 4012.8 lb now mph indicates HP so using drag racing calculators i got 268hp out of my quickest E.T and 285hp out of my slowest may seem a silly Q but which one do you go off as far as HP vs MPH? i know its totally useless but the car made 215.91hp/158.8kw at the wheels on the dyno.

You take whichever figure you like. It doesn't matter unless you are tuning according to speeds and can correlate this with track/ambient conditions. Otherwise it is just a number....
