Default Boost Calculator

This shows how much estimated power your engine will make at the wheels and flywheel when boost is added. Just type in your current RWHP, octane, boost level, and it will give you a close prediction. Mine put down 366RWHP on this calculator!

it's a neat toy but it fails to account for compression ratio, gross displacement or any of 100000000 other things that affect power from blowers.

lol...yea not sure if that is correct

if i had 160hp to the wheels and added a 11psi procharger with 2 core intercooler it said i would run 302hp to the wheels

i just estimated to the wheels since i dont really know

just more pollution on the web so ricers can overestimate their power output. It's a decent guesser though.
