Default 1/4 mile Calculate?

Ok this is kind of weird but is there any way that you can calculate how much HP you have by ur ET on a 1/4 mile. I know there has to be a way to do this. Anyone know how to do this??

c idk i didnt know my 1/8 mile time so i didnt do it. i think that the actuall forumla for hp is kinda crazy. some one told me it was like the time it take a horse to pull one pound of weight up a well one foot. or some kinda **** like that. so gl. the 96 it just like my 98 right... i have 150 stock plus i dont know what u have in it.

best way to see is the MPH you trap at. It will give you a good guess as to how much will be needed to trap that with the weight of your car.

some calculators should help you out with that. and you will know if the calculator is off by a big margin.
