Default 1/8th mile time - What's a good 1/4 mile estimate?



I'm spinning off the launch and getting loose as I hit 2nd running on 70% BFG DSG3's in full street trim after a 30 mile hike out to NSD last night - not sure what the DA was or anything, just curious what I would run at Ennis in the 1/4.

Researched a bit and found a claim that the formula for ET conversion was 1.55 * 8th mile time which would put me at 13.259 @ 104mph - sound about right?

Sounds about right....little slow with the mods though...my car was running about that bone stock. Need to find out what the DA is there

Using this data link it looks like it was about 82*F with 72% humidity and 29.73in of pressure which gave me a Density Altitude of 2869 feet and a Relative Density of 91.87 % - it didn't have an 1/8th mile converter, so plugged in my 1/4 mile converted numbers and it gave me a corrected ET/MPH of 12.796 @ 107.772 MPH for a Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
