Default 1/4 mile times from 1/8 mile runs?????

Any way you can approximately figure 1/4 mile from 1/8 mile times.

1/8 e.t was 8.23 @ 88.53 with stock gearing(3.42) and a race weight of 3700lbs.

Formula: 1/8 ET x 1.56= 1/4 ET

So, for your example, 8.23 x 1.56= 12.8388

Again, this is just an estimate, too many other factors and variables involved. Good luck, Shawn

Spanky is right . . . too many variables!

I'd say that your 1/8 mile runs were after your 1/4 mile best.

Your car is running better now . . . isn't it?

12.6s at almost 111 mph! Check it out.

Yes, I crunched the numbers.

my best run is 12.89 at 107.29 with a 1.936 60 foot and an 1/8 mile of 8.325 at 85.80, if that helps any.
