just a guideline but usually the 1/4 mile time is 1.56-1.58 times higher than your 1/8 th so say you run a 8.5 in the 1/8 th, 8.5 x 1.56 = 13.26 give or take. there are alot of variables but that should get you close.

If you have made a full 1/4-mile pass the 1/8-mile times would be on the slip. An approximate 1/8-mile is basically saying "seat of the pants" I'm guessing (unless you have a timeslip) but an efficient drivetrain running high 80s-low 90s mph in the 1/8-mile would be low 12s.

What is an approximate 1/8? It sounds like you are not talking about running on a track but on tne street. But high 80s to low 90s is a big difference in the 1/8. A non modded stock f body would run low 80s.

well it turns out that the peice of road i thought was an 8th was actually about .16 of a mile. i went to the strip and ran an 8.6 @ 83.5mph, any guesses on what that mite be in the quarter (such as anyone that ran that in the 8th??)
