the aforementioned track conditions (not the HP MSA

basic eT Prediction
Given your 1970 Ford Mustang notchback, with a 411
HP-producing, stroked 351-CID engine, weighing in at about
3,840 pounds (including driver), calculate a simple Elapsed Time
(ET) prediction. For a basic ET prediction, the calculator only
requires vehicle Weight and HP to be entered. The entered HP
is assumed to be the engine’s rated HP in ideal or MSA condi-
tions with no tire slippage and 100% converter lockup.
