HP calculator

i found this little program that is supposed to calculate HP from your vehicle weight and 1/4 mile times. Dunno how accurate it is but have fun!

I wrote a windows version a long time ago:

Window HP Calculator w/ 0-60mph times - Windows version of the horsepower calculator. It will show the minimum, average, and maximum horsepower given the total weight of the vehicle, et, and trapspeed. You can also calculate your 0-60 mph times using the 1/8th mile values

I also wrote a cellphone version so you can use it when at the drag strip:

Horsepower Calculator - Mobile Edition - Java version for use on your cellphone. It will show the minimum, average, and maximum horsepower given the total weight of the vehicle, et, and trapspeed. Here is a direct URL you can download directly from your cellphone: (http://tagtag.com/jestr)

I wrote this for sprocket changing in motorcycles, but the same rules apply for cars:

Topspeed Calculator - Calculate the top speed for each gear given the gear ratios.
