According this old "Quarter Mile Calculator" I have, using travis #'* from his PB run of 14.778 @ 93.73 mph and a race weight of 3750 lbs roughly (based it off him weighing in at 3600 with 1/8 tank of gas plus, say, 150 lbs for the driver). ![Wink](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Ok, now the #'* I'm seeing are:
HP from ET: 229.653 HP Corresponding MPH: 92.235 MPH
HP from MPH: 241.001 HP Corresponding ET: 14.542 Sec
For comparison, my 95 SLE SC the same day PB of 14.901 @ 91.55 MPH
Weighing roughly 3620 with me in the car:
HP from ET: 216.247 HP Corresponding MPH: 91.474 MPH
HP from MPH: 216.788 HP Corresponding ET: 14.889 Sec

ET and trap speed calculators typically use wheel horsepower. That'* the power that gets it done on the track.
I've found the calculators good as a general guide for comparing cars, but not reliable for hard numbers.
