leaning the A:F might speed up the flame front faster than going from 23psi to 28psi

You are pwned by reading comprehension:

This program will give you a ballpark estimate of your horsepower. Please don't make the mistake of quoting these numbers as if they meant anything.

There are two simple horsepower formulas that can estimate the on-the-pavement horsepower for a given car.
Secondly I did point out that a car that made 261 "corrected" whp ran 13.3 at 105. It seems to me that it is whp as measured on a dynojet or close.

I have not however failed to notice that even the writer of the calculator said its a ball park measurement and not to quote them as if they were "real" numbers. They are nice for seeing the affects of various changes to weight or hp though.

Thanks for the insult!

Bottom line that "on the pavement" calculator is showing 280 ATW for a 3400lb weight and 13.3 ET. So can you explain that? 280 ATW on any dyno besides DynoJet would be a rapid car doing 12.5 and under I think. If you explain that then please do, I'll try to comprehend it.

I've made my point in this thread which was simply to highlight a damn good result I saw on the MLR which frankly I've not seen on this board. Boost pressure was one difference I noticed, and I was curious as to what was going on.

Yeah I can and did explain that. My friends car made 261 corrected, 280 something uncorrected and ran 13.3 at 105 BONESTOCK. His car weighs around 3400 with him in it. I fail to see what part of this was hard to understand, but my original "insult" was a friendly jab because of how obvious the calculator made the point. I honestly could care less what other dynos will have a 280 whp car doing because we werent talking about other dynos we were talking about Dynojets. Further to the best of my knowledge no one has taken the time to dyno an Evo motor on an engine dyno to see exactly what it makes at the flywheel. I spose next year when I go to my other block I could do it for gigglez and such. But saying a Dynojet reads flywheel horsepower is kind of silly.
