Is there a formula for predicting how much faster would a car run,by adding more power.Like for example if my car runs a 14.9 with about 190 rear wheel horse power.What would another 5-10-20hp ect power do for it?
This question is not just about my car.I was just thinking about this last night.And I knew someone on here would know.  ------------------

If you add 20 hp to the rear wheel, my guess would be 3 mph and .45 of a sec.

10 rear wheel hp is worth .10 and 1 mph on our car.

Cool thats what I was looking for.And is it safe to say that 10rwhp is = to about 13 flywheel Hp. So for every 1 mph you get .10 off your time.
