Power (hp) only make you faster in the straight line. But I don't think you wanna do 1/4 miles.
Tires, suspension, weight savings, proper gear ratios make you fast everywhere.
Seat time makes you a lot faster everywhere.

But if you do 1/4 mile calcs:
950kg 140hp will let you run 1320 feet in 14.366 seconds
so by adding horsepower:
950kg 150hp=> 14.039 sec
950kg 160hp=> 13.762 sec
by reducing weight:
850kg 140hp => 13.828 sec

So in straight line acceleration from a standing start +20hp = -100kg
