Your boost pressure wont really tell you much (interms of power) on a blower car.
Your 1/4 mile & trap can give you an idea.
Throw it into any drag race calculator, and you can get a estimate.

If those drag times are actually true, where you on slicks? Radials? Or thats one hell good driver mod. 108 is a nice trap for an m62 car. Id say 265-270whp

i would say around 255-275. really doesn't take much for these cars to go fast. when stu had my car he went 12.75@109 at about 270-275hp. also which track where you at? cause almost all of the TN tracks are under 900 feet above sea level. with one or two being below 500 iirc. DA plays a factor in to times as well. you can't just say "i ran this time i must be around this horsepower"

Isn't horsepower just How much work, or effort was done over a set ammount of time?
I mean, your moving a Whatever your car weighs with you, your gas ect in it, over a measured 1320' distance (1/4 mile) and its Timed to the 1000th of a second (At that track I was at it was) So elevation and tempature are irrelelvent with the exception of takeing into account airodynamic drag, but It takes X amount of Horsepower to move Y lbs of mass, 1320 ft. In Z.zzz seconds
Youd have to calculate for air friction but, ya, I think you COULD calculate how much horsepower you put down on a run based on your run time and gross weight,
