100 pound loss = how much HP gain???

Wallace calculator says 12.5 at 3000lb takes 303.6 hp. Whereas 12.5 at 3100lb takes 313.7 hp. 12.5 at 4500 lb takes 455.4 hp. All according to Wallace calcs.

So, ~ 10 hp at the 12.5 second 1/4 mi ET level.

At the 10.0 sec level, 3,000 lbs takes 593 vs 613 at 3100 lbs.

As already stated, the scale IS NOT linear. Define the 1/4 ET or MPH, then you will have your definitive answer. ET-MPH-HP Calculator

That is what I was looking at also. But, the faster you go, the more HP it takes to lower the ET. But no matter how fast you go, a 100 lbs should create the same equivalent hp regardless on how much that drops your ET. So, Wallace is really saying X weight and ET = X amount of HP. But, no matter the ET or MPH, what is 100 lbs loss equivalent too in HP gains? If it's 8 hp, I understand that 8 hp doesn't effect the ET slip of a 10 second car like it might a 20 second car. I'm not trying to figure out how HP effects the ET slip, but rather how much hp does it take to equal the same effect as losing 100 lbs
