Default Analyzer says

675 at the flywheel should be about 560 at the wheels (675X.83). Plugging that and 2900 lbs. into the analyzer says 10.08 @ 135. That's probably a good ball park figure assuming good suspension, tires, and driving.

He stated that it will have an estimated 650-700rwhp. RWHP=rear wheel horsepower, not flywheel hp.

Default RWHP

Missed the RWHP denotation. My bad. 675 rwhp and 2900 lbs. into the analyzer would be 9.47 @ 143. The analyzer uses track weight though, so it includes driver, fluids, etc. for a total weight. So if the 2900 is dry vehicle weight without the driver, the et/trap speed would be a hair slower on the analyzer.
