doubt you will get into the 11s with a newage running 400/ 400
my mate done a 12.2 with 450 / 400 bugeye , same as a 911 turbo
my blobeye was running 400 / 380 and best was 12.8,
did'nt get a great run as was hoping for maybe a 12.5 or 12.6

. So I assume they've worked it out as if there's NO driver (a phantom, lol) not in the car - which is patently daft 
- but at least it keeps everything equal, due <ahem> to people not all being the same weight. Obviously. So, instead, I'd simply add whatever your weight is to the car's kerb weight and enter that figure into the calculator, to get a more real-world result.Also, another thing to consider is that these figures, just like car mag figures, are normally arrived at without an ounce of mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain - typically by sidestepping the clutch at very high RPMs (dependent on the best method for any particular car) - and dumping all the torque into the transmission <ouch> in one great big slug. Something most of us wouldn't want to do in our own pride and joy - unless you're some kind of automotive sadomasochist, and/or have very deep pockets, lol.

On the online calculator that I used, it does state "without driver" - so I assume they've worked it out as if there no driver (a phantom, lol) NOT in the car (which is patently daft) but at least it keeps everything equal, due <ahem> to people not all being the same weight. Obviously.
