Default How much gain from 60'

I was wondering how much a gain in the 1/8 and 1/4 you see by dropping your 60' .1

Is it a pretty much .1 60' improvement = .1 in the 1/8 and 1/4 ??

I'm asking cause so far I havent ran at any good tracks yet and best 60' time on nitto's is 1.96

Hoping good track will help me out.

Thanks.

Usually every .1 in the 60' equals .15 -.20 in the quarter

Very cool, now I know I gotta work on my 60' time instead of just throwing more HP into her. Thanks.
