Hp calculations

I have the drag times app and it says
6800lbs
88.89mph
Equals 372.75hp
That seem alittle high?

strange. With me, my spare tire in the back and a full tank of fuel, I was under 6000. Maybe even under 5900 I can't remember off the top of my head And I had 50+ lbs of tools behind the seat

Then again, I had an SE truck with no ac or pdl or pdw or pm. Those items actually add a lot of weight... I can barely carry a fully loaded door with all the power accessories in it (partly because it's so awkward), but a crank window door is comparatively light. I wouldn't be surprised if that added a 100lbs a door... and Le tailgates weigh a lot more than the standard ones too. Oh and I probably lost some weight from rust disintegrating my heap as well lol

oh and my heap was a rusted out rclb 4x4 auto SE model

I'm about 6000-6200 dependin on how much tools and crap is scattered in my bed or cab. Could probably get below 6000 if I took the toolbox and everything out though.
