14.28 The calculators are pretty accurate. I can usually multiply by 1.57 and get very close to my 1/4 mile time. I run on 1/4 tracks so I have compared the 1/8 and 1/4 times on a lot of slips. If you are running a supercharger or turbo it doesn't work well though, because these engines make most of their power on the back end of the track. 9.10 is not that bad for your first time. Just keep your head up. Keep at it, and the times will come down for you.

Well last night I ran a 8.8 in the 1/8 and ran a 13.4 in the quarter so I would guess your 9.1 would be a high 13

Why ask for the answer, then say plz don't give it to me?

I would have guesed right at 14.0 but you asked me not to, so I'll go with 13.99

you seem bone stock with those #'s so 14.1...'s not too bad if you have a4. but, if it's a m6 you need drivers mod.

You should have no problem running low 13's or high 12's with some good tires. I can tell you must have spun all the way through 1st and 2nd gear with those times.
