Default 1/4 mile time?

Can someone tell me what I could expect to run in the 1/4 mile if my best time in the 1/8 mile is 8.66@87 with a 2.11 60ft? That is with Goodyear eagle F1's. Mods are bone stock except for a factory installed Auburn diff. and Slp dual/dual exhaust. It is a 2000 SS A4.

probably 12.9-13.2 at about 107-109 mph. My best is 8.32 but at 85 mph in the 1/8-mile and that's on my best 12.89 pass.

Dusted off the calculator and came up with 13.55

¼ Mile ET = (1/8 Mile ET + .22) / .655

My 1/8 mole times are very similar, they do vary a little though. My best is an 8.134 @ 88.46 and worst is 8.316 @ 84.71. the corresponding 1/4 mile times are 12.554 @ 111.12 and 12.919 @ 106.55 respectively. The first and best run the car has ever made, 12.554, was on Goodyear Eagle F1's. For some reason I slowed up on drag radials with a best et of 12.599 and best mph of 109.16, the car is a ton more consistent though.

My 8.551 best 1/8 resulted in a 13.176 pass. I have an A4 2000 Z28. Last winter I did a 8.684 - resulted in a 13.285 pass. HTH
