Well one thing is that I'm slower if I put my curb weight in there. 

Enter Vehicle Weight:  < size=5 value=3342 name=weight> lbs
Enter Vehicle HorsePower:  < size=7 value=200 name=whp> whp

< =find_et(this.) = value=Calculate name=>

Estimated Quarter-Mile ET:

< size=9 value=14.892 name=result> sec

Not to sure what my total weight is.... 

I did in 2003 a quarter in 16.202 with my CE.  In '82 by Road and Track they did a 16.1 in the quarter.   Not bad since it's an old dog.

I just made a guess. Mine is 355, so I made a guess at 300, also put in 3400 pounds...also a guess.

sorry , but i estimate it a lot less.Bhp are measured with the engine nude : without alternator,exhaust,air fan ?air filter , etc. So i guess 350 bhp are somewhat 280 DIN hp ? and than at the rear wheels : 250 hp ????

So every hp counts , don't let your radio on during the 1/4 mile !
