acceleration formula
I am trying to find an equation to calculate an expected 1/4-mile time for my brother's mid-80's 302 V8 mustang. He gave me the weight and torque curve data with and without nitrous. Anybody know how to calculate the expected acceleration?

Found this info in another posting. Check out this site: <a href="http://sura1.jlab.org/~grippo/auto_f.html">http://sura1.jlab.org/~grippo/auto_f.html</a>
There are plenty-o-formulas, (mostly for engineers,but) maybe one will help.
ps: the space between "auto" and "f.html" is an underscore.

Thanks, the site has a lot of good stuff. Most of it is too complex for what I want, but they did have a table of 1/4 mile times and trap speeds for various horsepower and weight combinations. This is probably all I could get out of the simple fomula I was looking for anyway.

Thanks,
Rapidline.com appears to cost money. But I found a free calculator at Prestage.com. There are a number of things you can calculate there. Also, somewhere I found a formula that gives results similar to that on Prestage.com.
