It will give you a general idea, but don't take it for 100% fact. There's a lot of driver that goes into a drag race.

You're losing 90hp from the crank to the wheels?! That's a lot! [&:]

A 15% parasitic loss (give or take) is average. 300 h.p. at the wheels would give you more in the neighborhood of 353 h.p. at the crank.

slp headers/y pipe, hooker cat back no cat wit cut out, msd plug wires, moroso cai, and aholley throttle body. Dont add up to a 100 horse power gain [>:]at the crank. I think it might be a little off.
