Our engine builder tells us right @ 17hp in a 3100 to 3200 lb car.....I don't know it that's average hp ,but I'm thinking it is.....

The faster the car is the more HP it takes. In a 3200 lb car running 12.20s it takes about 10 HP for a tenth, 17 HP at that weight, you're in the 10.0 range for a tenth difference.
