Anyone ran number thru Wallace computer on 1/8 or 1/4 stats to see how close or far off. My guess on my junk is off by .15 to .2. No way I can hit the number it spits out with this lil engine. Even at 1780 lbs. Now at 1400 maybe. Then have to remove driver and another 170 lbs. Or just dump the blue jugs in tank. White jug alky blue is nitro ion myu trailer.

For the stuff I do, I've found the calculators to be very useful, and probably right on target for normal N/A combinations. Add exotic fuels and / or boost, and the results are going to be wildly different from real life.

Thanks, was not asking about the fun fuel just kind of got headed that way.

If do not mind how accurate? I ran number off two other guys stuff using weight and hp.One dyno and one SWAG.

Wonder if rear wheel HP number are more accurate?

As with the thread I started in the tech section, those calculators vary wildly on my combination when you look at hp for et or hp for mph.

I don't put much stock in them anymore.

Pretty much what I found out running different combos. Seemed most where .1 to .2 slower than calculator. I do think they are ok to use to get in ball field of what one should expect, Damn sure would not dial off trailer based on one of them.
