Someone said the white dyno will tell you!
Someone else said you can't have too much horsepower.
It's fun to have an idea how fast you can go but it's so complicated, formulas can lead you astray and to surprises. Maybe good, maybe not so good. It's really hard to aquire all the correct information for the the formulas. Cd on mine is a wag, So is horsepower (at the wheels please), rolling resistance on (salt), wet or dry, traction etc. Once you have a speed and a horsepower rating you have something good to work on. Throttle full on?
My Doctor told me my engine in the Saturn car was probably good for 100 mph so it should do a 150 in a lakester. He was an engineering major drop out! I'm taking those figures and going to Sumner's spread sheet and then Tim's formula. I'll put some nice numbers in for Cd when I need them and use the numbers my doc gave me. I have more of a chance to be happier with Sum's spread sheet because my car is realllllly slick.
. Just kidding with you, Sum!
