I thought hp was figured by dividing peak torque @ rpm by 5252 or something like that. Dynos don't mean anything IMHO. Track tested is where it's at. I ran 12.2-4 @ 118mph with a 3800# truck. That's around 450-540hp depending on which calc you use. If I went off just the engine dyno hp I should run 10.1-3 @ 130mph or so. So going of dyno numbers I can tell people I have a 10 second truck. When in reality I have a 12 second slip and slide machine. I'm sure a 400hp car that hooks can hand me my ass from a stop. From a roll, not happenin..
