What ever horse power you got if you can't hook it up, ET calculations are worthless.

Actually 600 HP should put you into the 9's with slicks, in the 10's with street tires, mid 10's give or take several tenths. Your trap speed should be about 130+ mph with a 600hp motor, about 120+ mph ( about 10 mph slower) with a 500hp motor. It's true that ET's are very variable,but the trap speed should be somewhat consistant whether you are using slicks or street tires.
