Drag 2000 Results?
I was messing around with Drag 2000, the drag race equivlant of desktop dyno. Does anyone have any experience with this program and its accuracy. It gives me a quarter mile time of 12.584 @ 109. mph. It seems way to optomistic for my car. But I can dream. Desktop dyno figures my engine at 350 hp and 385 tq. I used that file imported into the drag program. Can someone give me the correct #'s to enter for my car. I need weight (i think i have that right), drag coef, weight dist, front area, and wheelbase ( i think that is right also). The rest I know. If this thing is accurate I would be happy, but as I said I think its optomistic! :cheers:

Just thought of this. Someone who has some real world data can email me all their specs and Ill plug them in and compare. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Chuck, so you are saying if i just set it to high altitude I dont have to worry about figuring the percentages and entering manually??? If that were accurate that would still be cool! Im glad I dont have to reinvent the wheel to get good numbers!

DollaGreen,
RWHP numbers are best, but if not, the High Altitude setting seems to bring it close. Try to imput cars from amzazine tests to see how they come out. many don't like Road & Track because they shift to slowly. I like them because they show a graph. You can see what speeds they obtained in "x" seconds. Playing with it will help in figuring it out.
Just remember that the same car, the same driver at different tracks can vary his or her times by plus or minus 1/2 second. This program is not a target rifle, it's a shot gun. but still a lot of fun!
