Default Site to Caluculate HP and Times...?

Does anyone know of a website that allows you to say I have this car with this upgrade this upgrade and this and it shows a rough estimate of whp and 1/4 mile traps/times? I was just curious. I doubt it, but you guys would be the ones to know. Thanks fellas!

272.88 horsepower is required to achieve a 13.7 second 1/4 mile acceleration time in a 2700 pound front wheel drive car.
Hmm, could this be right? That is the weight of my accord with me in it...

Thanks. Some seemed a little goofy. Like 261hp for 13.9 in a 2700lbs car.

you don't need that much wheel horsepower, maybe flywheel horse.

my car made about 220, weighed 2600lbs, and ran a 13.6

On there it is just HP not WHP so I assume flywheel. 220 at the wheels I assume you made? Will truck stops let you weigh in? I want to, but don't know where to go or if they'd let me.
