1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion??
Does anybody believe these? I have heard 1.527 or 1.547.
If that is the case, my 8.19 1/8th time should be 12.50 or 12.66.
Best run was 8.13 but couldn't find that timeslip so I posted 8.19 for which I do have slip.
BTW, I went to BRADENTON track for a closed bachelor/run day party and ran a 13.1 with a smoked tranny (now fixed and BA)... they invited me not to come back with out a roll bar!!

Unless you're spinning a lot out of the hole, 1.55-1.58 x 660' should give you an acceptable window to use. Mine is currently 1.568 but was 1.575 when the car was SI and taking off really well for its power. For 1.52-1.54 to work as a conversion you're going to really need to go out the end hard compared to the first 660'.

your car runs alot like my SS did back when it was a bolt-on car, and looking back at my timeslips, an 8.20 @87.75 run for me turned out to be a 12.66 @111.94. This was in a 6-spd car with the stock 3.42's, 16" Nitto's, lid, cutout, and free mods.

¼ Mile ET = (1/8 Mile ET + .22) / .655 8.19 1/8 = 12.83 1/4. according to this http://www.tciauto.com/Products/Tech...alculators.asp

Thanks guys..
Just as I expected, there is no exact multiplier...every car is different. With my mods and gear(2.73) it feels like car is just starting to ape it when I trap the 660'. Hopefully, my 'seat of the pant' is correct and should run mid 12.
Think I'll take Magnets advise and take it back to the nearest 1/4 and see if they remember!
