Default what should my new et be with this 60'?

Just tested the new Moser 9"
I was running 11.6 @ 116 with a 1.67 60' on my 10 bolt w/ broken posi
Last night I was only able to get a 60' time
It was 1.57!!! What do you guys think my new 1/4 ET should have been based on that 1.57 60'???

Default

usually a tenth better 60 foot can equate to about 1-2 tenths by the finish line, if all else is equal. But of course it depends on a few things.
-how the car is geared
-loss of forward movement by the air the car "pushes" (aka aero drag)

I usually can pick up 15 hundredths if the 60 foot varies a tenth, but I have a consistent car off the line, so I'm just guessing here. Either way, you'll be faster than before, unless something else has been changed.
