1/8 mile to 1/4 mile comparo

[squeak_cg]

Hey guys, I've always ran the quarter mile but this weekend the track i usually go to had something wrong with the track so I they only ran 1/8th mile. Anyways, here are the specs for my best run previous to that night and my best run from this weekend. This weekend I ran some used slicks and ran a short belt, those are the only differences. Other mods are in the sig. What do you think my new 1/4 mile ET would be? An online calc. put it at 13.98. Does that sound close

Previous Best
60 ft--2.1780
1/8 ET--9.4920
1/8 MPH--75.77
1/4 ET--14.5992
1/4 MPH--95.93

New Best
60 ft-1.9720
1/8 ET--8.9390
1/8 MPH--81.36

Launched the car at about 4300 w/13 psi in both tires, shifted at about 5. Its a gain of about a 0.5 s and 6 mph. I was pretty happy.

Somewhere around 14 flat according to that 1/8 time. Does it stop pulling at 5? I'd wind it out a bit more than that.

Thats a 14 flat, possibly 13.99 time. Thats very damn good w/o gears, even though you had to have been on some decent tires lol. 3.73s and that'll plant that car well into the 13s.

Somewhere in the mid 13's considering the mph and all.

It has 3.73s according to his sig.

ya, I have 3.73's, the tires are actually a Hoosier dirt track tire made from a soft compound that I was able to pick up for $10 a piece and throw on some 10-holes.

About the shift point, previously the car would run better times if i shifted a little before five, the new taller tires may affect that. This is the first time I've only run an 1/8 mile too so that took some getting used to.
