Ok so my cossie did a 12.79 at the pod at 114.16mph. From this are you able to tell me roughly what sort of power its putting out as not sure. The reaction time was +.7512

You can sort of...

force = mass x acceleration

However the launch plays a big part so it doesn't really work.

Because of that terminal velocity is usually a better gauge

Mr Rainbird is the expert on this......as I know that his 380 bhp Sapphire posted better times than one of his 400 bhp + engines, but I'll let him enlighten you.

But....this is a very good time. I'm guessing around the 350bhp mark, and I'm guessing you had a decent set of tyres on, and a better than average rear suspension.

GOOD TIME.
