Industrial, that's closer to a crank # you're getting.
And, BTW guys, I've probably been going down the strip longer than some of you have walked the planet, and have had several HP cars over those years.

Nope. That's power to the ground as the car sits when it makes the pass. I don't care what you say about your drag racing experience. Your math is fox news weak. You should be able to take a car, make 10 passes, take the average trap speed and plug it into that equation and get a number. That number should match what the car will put up on a properly calibrated dyno with a 1:1 gear ratio. I'm not making this shit up. It's just math.
Here is a reference since we're on the topic of dynos vs. trap speeds vs. butt dynos.
