Yes, fairly straightforward - you just need to go into the basic flight mechanics equations and play around with them a bit.

The further you get away from known test data, the less confidence you can have in the result, but up to 15% overload you should be pretty close.

A good book to get the equations out of would be John T Lowry's "Performance of Light Aircraft". A bit hard going, but very thorough.
