I can but you need to supply a couple of parameters:

starting temperature
target temperature
element watts

program returns heat-up time based on these variables.

Example for a 2x2x5 oven, starting at 80 degrees and heating to 400 with 5170 watts(23 amps) of heating elements takes 10 minutes and 19 secs to reach 400.

If you increase the element size to 10000 watts(42 amps) it would reduce the heat up time to 5 min 20 secs.
