I was thinking that 290whp in a srt-4 would equal about 114-115mph trap.

This is too much of a broad generalization. Trap speed and et will depend more upon driver, track, and car and whether you are running street tires, slicks or drag radials. There are too many factors to just guess that a car with a certain amt of hp will trap a certain speed.

yeah I know there is alot of factors...

but, srtgurl traps at almost 111 with 270whp and drag radials. I figured with 20 or so more whp and stock tires 114 would be obtainable.

there is no way you can judge what a trap speed will be from whp alone...

what kind of car?
what torque lb/ft?
weight of car?
gearing?

all of these play a large part... but for a guess I would agree with (mark, is it?) I would say about 110mph

You can get a pretty good estimate if you know elevation...temp...weight...and rwhp.

Guessing ET's/MPH's is not an accurate art, but you can get close to give yourself an ideal of what can be ran.

3000 lbs
290rwhp MPH (developed)
250rwhp ET (developed)
sea level
60's weather

My guess..12.90@111.3 MPH.

from 109-112 depending of vehicle weight at the time and traction or not...

there are lots of factors involved but the general area would be 110-112mph.

if you want to get a high Mph strip the interior...

but just to let you know, SRTGURL got her 110.99MPH run with a lot of things in the car, CDs, Cooler, Tools... that just so happened to be her best shifting that day:D
