Default My best times in the 1/8th on motor and on spray.

Well, I went 7.69 on motor and 7.22 on spray, my mph was off on this run not real sure why. didn't get a slip for the 7.23 pass at 102 mph, but oh well this slip has the faster time but i really liked the mph on the 7.23 pass. Anyway hopefully i can improve that 7.22 quite a bit by removing the delay out of my nitrous controller. I just don't have the tires to handle it right now. The sixty foot time is decent but nothing great on the nitrous run considering i have cut a 1.69 sixty foot on motor before. I guess its time for some new wheels and tires, and a little suspension work. Let me know what you guys think.



sorry everything is so big.

Nice runs. 7.23 @ 102 would be dangerously close to 10.9 @ 130+

7.35 runs out to be 11.50, so maybe a stretch, but def hauling the mail. on motor a 7.11 1/8 is about a 11.15, so maybe i should shut my mouth lol.

It depends on the MPH. You can't just say this number will be that number in the 1/4. 102 MPH would put him at 11.0s if not 10.9s with 7.3 1/8

Good runs. On the conversion, the amount of time you're behind already at the 1/8 mile might not come back off by the 1/4. All depends how it runs the back half. 102 mph is good for 123-126 mph in the 1/4 IMHO, but a 7.22 is about 11.30-11.40. Granted the 60 foot shows the car will be coming on strong, but in the end the best way to find out is take it to a 1/4 track!

It's hard to judge on cars with power adders especially nitrous. You don't know how much they started with, when the nitrous came on or goes off, etc... And I know that you probably understand but you can't just say a 1/8*X=1/4. A 7.22 @ 50mph would be like a 16 second 1/4, or a 7.22 @ 120 would be a 9 second 1/4.

Check the left lane.

just basing my opinion on the fact that all my runs, n/a or nitrous, my 1/4 is either 1.56 or 1.57 the 1/8 mile time(not calculation but actual 1/4 runs). i spray basically out of the hole(3500 on a 3600 vig converter). in looking at some of these older slips though i really need to reevaluate my n2o setup because i am only picking up 6-7 mph on a 100 shot(123 n/a to 129 n2o).
food for thought.

good luck going into the 6... I have a 240sx with an LS1 on it, but with an Automatic 4L60e tranny... what would it run in the 1/4 mile with a 150 shot? it weights around 2800 LBS...

Nice runs man!


Yes as a good rule of thumb I use 1/8 mile ET x 1.57 = 1/4 mile ET
(give or take a couple 1/100s)
