How close to 11.5 in 1/4 mile? If I run 7.5s consistantly in the 1/8, am I close to 11.5s in the 1/4 mile? I know there is a conversion list on here but wondering if anyone is similar to my set-up running mid 11s.

It depends... what kind of 60' times does the car run? And what MPH are you trapping in the 1/8? I just looked at a slip from last summer, on a 7.486 1/8, I went 11.504 at the other end. My 60' was a soft 1.852, but I trapped 97.07 in the 1/8 & 122.43 in the 1/4 respectively.
If the car is just starting to grab and turn on at the 1/8, it may go faster. But, if it's pretty much dead hooking and running low 90 MPH or slower 1/8 traps... I'll have to agree with the others and say 11.70's.

I'd bet on a 11.7-11.8 out of your car as well. If the car is dead hooking and not making a bazillion horsepower the 1/8th>1/4 mile conversion is closer to 1.58 than 1.55. It's running almost exactly like my car is. Once I pick up my car from the shop with a fresh tranny I'm hoping for some 7.30's in the 1/8th and some 11.50's in the 1/4 mile. I'm still making pretty much stock horsepower so it takes a really nasty 660' time to run those 11.50's because I don't have big MPH to bail me out.
