Do you have any background in NA drag racing, if you do please state your combinations and performance, I want to know where your coming from.
Racing a NA NHRA stocker should be mandatory before any posting.

Yes I do. I'm trying to post sensible information rather than the nonsense that some people try to propagate as gospel.

Just go read some of the posts in that 600hp vs. 600hp rpm thread. There’s plenty of it in there.

I never found what I was looking for in the thread, but I have looked at your past posts seems legitimate to me. Anyway we have the same type of dyno, do you mind me asking where you live?

I’m in North Carolina. I don’t have a dyno right now but I’ve been around a few and hung the arm a time or two.

This says it all.
In summary, here is all you need to know:

Energy = 0.5 * mass * v * v
Power = Energy / time (if power is continuous)
Power = RPM * Torque

You can cut a man's tongue from his mouth, but that does not mean he’s a liar, it just shows that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Power can be measured in Watts (W) or Horsepower (HP). 1 HP is the same as
746 Watts.
Not to an electrician.... one HP is 1920 watts.... :D
I’ve met electricians like that.
