Default Calculating Power to Weight Ratio’s

Appears when using link below calculating power to weight ratio, (touring 1,100 lbs. scoot) @ 95hp, ptwr=.085 then calculate 1/4 mile time= 13.30

This neat calculator is a handy estimating tool when fractional horse power gains are increased vs. $$$ out of pocket ratio....

In other words, how much of your money converts into how fast you scoot will be (estimated) you will need to add in the initial cost & labor.

Years back wish I would of known about this calculator link. A solid estimator of parts cost to increase horsepower ratio. I use dyno charts in determining horse power gains & components related to these gains.

That would put a total costs into hp gains relating to 1/4 mile times. This calculation allows one to efficiently choose the best part that provides the most bang for the buck with an attached estimated price that can be predetermined.
