My guess would be 10's or 11's.

7.40s in the 1/8 should be good for 11.5-11.8 or so in the 1/4.

If it runs the back-half similar to the front half, I'll guess 11.80's-11.90's.

Multiply your 1/8 time by 1.55

Conversion factors can sometimes be like guessing e.t.'s from rwhp #s. They can be spot-on for some, way off for others.

Examples:

My recent new best 1/8 mile: 7.279 x 1.57 = 11.428 (actually ran 11.532 @ 114.47 mph).

Granted my Nova isn't aerodynamic as the Formula, so from the 'Bird:

8.325 x 1.57 = 13.070 (actually ran 12.894 @ 107.29 mph).
8.325 x 1.55 = 12.903

So it depends on gearing, hook, driveline efficiency, etc etc.
