the Calculators that I posted were just for reference, I cant remember the exact numbers but once you reach 175 to go faster you have to increase your HP exponentially. unless you can decrease your drag. We have cars that run at Bonneville and we have learned first hand how important every little thing is. We even calculate how much drag the tires have since this is a open wheel car.

There are tons of things that matter, one more is that it will require more HP to drive anything once you get passed a 1:1 ratio.
