It'll be fun and informative. With the elapsed time and MPH we can tell you within 10 HP of what the engine actually is making.
Also, if the timing or fuel mixture is off by 10 percent on any given setup, it will knock off 10 percent of the actual horsepower.
Get some time numbers and we'll let you know...
