I'm in a programming class, and on my free time I thought I would come up with a nifty little DOS program that will compute a wide range of typical car related equations. Initially it will only be DOS based, but I hope to embed it in a webpage via PHP or something. So post up all the formulas that you can think of, and if possible where you found them. Thanks!!

two popular ones are
1) rwhp/0.88= flywheel hp for cars with a T56 mated to the engine
2) rwhp/0.80= flywheel hp for cars with 4L60E's mounted to the engine.

i don't know how much the 97+ vette's torque tube changes those equations or if 4L65E's have more or less drag, but its a starting point.

also have some hp to fuel equations but its kinda long. let me know if you want it.
