hmm according to this and the results from my last dyno tune, i should run a 12.93010. Maybe quicker now since i've done a few things since then!

Wheres the MPH ?
And if you don't know the actual weight of the car it obviously won't calclate correctly.
Remember to add driver weight. aswell.
Still not bad but IMO there are to many variables to make it absolutely accurate.
So in reality it will give you a possible E.T based on perfect conditions, which we know almost never happens.

Hmm...my boat should run 11.80's.

true, there are many factors, they should call it an "estimator" not a "calculator"

It would be awesome if my boat were that fast! 2,500 pounds isn't all that light for a boat that size. Although, 350 HP isn't too shabby for a 16' hull.

It seemed pretty accurate for my Bird, though. Handy tool.

Even setting sea level height would make it even more accurate.

Yeah there are a lot of factors. This is a good "ballpark" estimate, but there just are too many things that aren't taken into account. Not to mention, the driver mod! Can't really calculate that...haha!!
