So I raced the other night in what I over-heard was 5500' air in SLC, my timeslips were from 10.64@128 - 10.56@130 with mid 1.5 60' times, my car weighs about 3850-3900 with me in it, any clue on what power that should be if I was to go on a chassis dyno?

There will be more load at the track but on a chassis Dyno like a Mustang Dyno which is loaded and more accurate then a dynojet id say about 600-615 hp on a Mustang Dyno. 640-650 on a Dynojet.

I agree that 130mph is roughly 600rwhp. That would be uncorrected though. For reference, i dyno at 535rwhp and have hit 125.6 mph in the 1/4 in good air (near 0 DA).
