I've had one for a while. My quarter miles come in around 16.0 sec @ 91.5 mph. I don't abuse the clutch so that's probably why the times are a little high. Should be more like 15.5 I think.
The trouble with the hp calculation is that you need an accurate vehicle weight. Even if you go to a truck stop or roadside weigh station or whatever, the weight will be plus/minus 20 lbs at best. The local garbage dump has a scale that thinks my little japanese dodge truck weighs 3600 lbs empty (should be 2750 including me). I don't worry about the hp number, the timing tests are enough for me.
