kaotik1 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 When you make your pulls on the dyno, they gues your quarter by hp numbers. There is a big equation on how to figure it out, but it is something like vehicle weight plus tire size devided by horsepower. Then there is a multipler divided by quarter, and it will produce a decently accurate guess. Mind you perfect driver and conditions. I will try and find the formula later on, the dyno machines figure it all out for you. BTW.. The is a bogus number your buddy gave, they are something like 13.7 bone stock. Unless hes got the 2008 model. My friends 2003 lightning put down 426hp to the tires(mustang dyno) and they dyno 1/4 guess was like a flat 12 or high 11's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 there are some mustang dyno's that will let you run a similation 1/4 mile pass with the launch and everything. W2W's dyno has this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
