1/8 mile ET X 1.54 =1/4 ET

1/4 mile ET / 1.54 =1/8 ET

e.g. 7.2 X 1.54=11.08

this is the usual method i ve seen used.

i use 1/8 times 1.57 on my car and its usually accurate within .03. so for 7.2 i get 11.30. i go 11.15 on a 7.10 and like someone else said you will need 7.0 to go 10's.

My car follows the 1.57 also. My 6-speed LT1 used to be food with 1.55 though.

Most use either 1/8th mile x1.55 or x1.57, I use x1.56.

I use x 1.26 for converting 1/8th mph to 1/4 mph.

Ex: 95 mph x 1.26 = 120 mph give or take.

I use 1.56 also. But it varies from each setup. 1.55-1.57 seems to be a good range.
