Default 0-60 calculator

I created an Excel spreadsheet that calculates your 0-60 time based on your time slip. It seems to be more accurate than some of the calculators on web sites that have been posted lately. I read a post here that someone calculated that a 1.85 60-ft and a 5.2 330-ft would give you a sub 4.0 0-60. That's exactly what my calculator predicts as well.

You can look at the chart to see how well the formula matches your data points. The 1/8 mile speed is only to determine how accurate the model is. If the estimated 1/8 mile speed is close to the speed on your time slip, the 0-60 time should be accurate.

Let me know what you think.

cool - 1.715 60', 5.064 330', and 7.76 1/8 mile = 3.81 0-60. The mph said 88.41 and the mph on that pass was 88.85 so its pretty close here - cant wait to see what it is with the cam/heads :cheers:
