less traction = more mph
Your tires are spinning and your vehicle’s rate of speed is not where it should be.
But the motor’s rate of speed is. Hence when traction is obtained the power output of the motor will be sent to the pavement.
Since the engine is ahead of where it would be, in relation to a full traction run.
You have more hp to go down a further distance since you basically worked the motor with moving little distance.
It’s confusing, but if you picture it in your head it makes sense

Tire spin can and will influence MPH some more than others…
My car actually losses MPH when it spins - but regardless of point MPH does show HP “PERIOD” to the wheels.
Using corral HP calculator my car is always with in a tenth of ideal et.
Have a friend who has spent lots of time on a dyno and figures came up with in 5HP of calculated HP using trap speed.
