Horsepower Design Equations and Formulas Calculator

Automobile - Car - Truck

Solving for the change or increase in engine or motor horsepower performance using the ET method.

This method uses the elapsed time needed to complete a quarter mile run. It is used to give an estimate of vehicle(car, truck, motorcycle) engine horsepower. Weight should include the mass of the vehicle, driver and passenger. Times will need to be measured before and after performance or after market parts have been installed.
