3300 lbs going 660 ft is2,178,000 ft lbs of work. You*re doing it in 5.7 seconds, so thats 382105.2632 ftlbs per second. Divide that by 550ftlbs per second ( 1 hp ), you get 695 hp. Thats from start line to finish line and thats an average. So peak rear wheel hp would be higher, now if someone can come up with a peak #, we can add frictional losses and come up with peak flywheel hp. I think?
