15s finally
1/4 & HP figs
Proud to say I finally broke 15s. 15.8 on a cool Oct daywith a .509 tree. Worst tree of the day was .611, had 4 runs. I went on Dereks Exotic cars page to do a HP calculation. Came up with 129 at the wheels. Sounds pretty right to me after looking at Big Mike's dyno charts. We have virtually identical cars except for my cams. It's awesome knowing I'm pushing nearly 170hp at the crank
Later guys. Been away on active duty for a while, might be goin back soon. Hope to make more posts

170? Do not want to put you down, 129 at the wheels is about 140 at the crank for BP engined(I assume) Protege.

Pat has a 1st gen LX 5spd,
so on the low side, a 15% loss, at 129WHP, is equal to 152CHP
on the high side, a 20% loss, at 129WHP, is equal to 161CHP
