Thank You for any response.........Joe Allan.................ps. not try'n to take anything away from anyone, just try'n to understand.

Just got our Computech weather station out. This unit is pretty accurate. As a base run we input a 9.85 run @ 3462 feet. This is an actual run at Joliet last summer. If we do the ET at a sea level run it would run 9.60. This calculates to 568HP for the 6X motor corrected to sea level.

Now lets put Jim's motor into our Grand Am with 685HP. This calculates to a 9.26@147mph. Now let us correct to sea level. [email protected].

The calculated HP 90 deg, 27.99, and 50% is 773HP from the actual dyno sheet corrected to sea level.
