According to your numbers, power to weight is approximately 2lbs/hp.......Therefore, you are accelerating to somewhere around 210-225mph..........
Ya gotta love the horsepower claims some of these engine builders make!

Um or perhaps you should take 1000hp and divide by 2600 lbs to get 0.385 hp per pound
other wise I could take an 1800 lb VW and divide by 36hp to get 50 hp/pound ( or if done correctly hp divided by pounds 0.02 hp/lb)
Basically Y'all did it backwards
