Talking What figure do you use?

Hey all,

I finally got a chance to do some 1/4 mi runs with this accelerometer. Now I am really questioning the results. I did these runs yesterday (Sunday 11-15-09). I got one run about 10:30 MST. Approx 1300 ft elevation, 65 deg F, sunny and dry, on a freeway. ESP was turned on and full auto. Here is what it said...126 mph,12.19 sec,291 RWHP,347 EHP.

A little while later I was at a different location, CA instead of AZ. Approx 900 ft elevation, 66 deg, dry and sunny, rough surface road. ESP=off, manual-matic. Here is what it said...144mph, 11.69 sec, 325 RWHP, 474 EHP.

Now that seemed too damn good. I had a dyno a couple of months ago and they showed me it was at 320 RWHP so that seems to be OK but 474 HP???? Even the 12.19 in full auto seems too damn good. I like it but .

So I'm thinking I got some parameter wrong. I found, on the web, a figure of 3328 for a SRT6 Roadster added 170 lbs for me and calculated fuel at 6 lbs/gal for 15.9 gal tank which put me at 3546 to 3593 lbs. Does that sound right to any of you? What weight are you guys using with this accelerometer?

Please give me some feedback on the correct weight or if I should just keep that big ol' grin on my face.

Cheers!
