1/8th Mile ET-MPH-HP Drag Race Calculator
Step 1: Enter Your Data
| Input | Unit | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Elapsed Time (ET) | Seconds | |
| Trap Speed (MPH) | Miles per Hour |
Step 2: Calculate Horsepower (HP)
Copy
HP = (MPH * MPH) * 0.0325
Step 3: Results
The calculator will display the estimated horsepower (HP) based on the input elapsed time (ET) and trap speed (MPH).
Example:
- ET: 8.00 seconds
- MPH: 90.0 mph
Calculations:
- HP = (90 * 90) * 0.0325 = 243 HP
Estimated Horsepower: 243 HP
- 60 Foot Elapsed Time = 1.25 seconds
- 1/8 Mile Elapsed Time = 1.67 seconds
- 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time = 2.58 seconds
- 1/4 Mile Trap Speed = 31.25 mph
Notes:
- This calculator provides an estimate of horsepower based on simplified equations and does not account for factors such as vehicle weight, aerodynamics, or drivetrain losses.
- For more accurate horsepower estimates, consider using a dynamometer or other specialized testing equipment.
- Be sure to use consistent units for elapsed time (seconds) and trap speed (mph).
What is the 1/8 mile ET-MPH-HP drag race calculator?
The 1/8 mile ET-MPH-HP drag race calculator is a tool used by drag racers to estimate their elapsed time (ET), speed (MPH), and horsepower (HP) for an 1/8 mile drag race. It takes into account various factors such as vehicle weight, tire diameter, and track conditions to provide an accurate estimate.
How accurate is the 1/8 mile ET-MPH-HP drag race calculator?
The accuracy of the 1/8 mile ET-MPH-HP drag race calculator depends on the accuracy of the input data and the assumptions made by the calculator. While it can provide a close estimate, actual results may vary based on real-world conditions and individual vehicle performance.
