Hi all ..I have been dynoed at 140rwkws on average and have run a 15.1 .My six wagon is quoted as running 17 second 1/4 mile from factory.Is it fair to say that an increase of 20rwkws equates to 1 second quicker on the 1/4 mile?

A better way of looking at is by percentage. 40kw increase gives you approx 40% over your standard figure, which is a lot. 40kw increase on the above mentioned top fueler is less than 0.01%. You also need to consider your shorter diff ratio, high stall converter, shift kit, and slicks. Rick.

Combined with modified auto, chip for better low down power and a 3.7 diff... yes. Theres a hell of a lot more to a fast 1/4 then outright power. Plenty of cars running lower power get a faster ET than similar cars with more power.

Another formula that always works for me is the weght one . This is that for every 100 pounds removed from a given vehicle that vehicle will run .10 of a second quicker over the 1/4 mile.....cheers jai.

I've said it once and i'll say it again, it's not JUST power, it's SETUP (suspension, tyres, weight). Are you chasing a time or power?
