The NHRA conversion is to mulitply the ET b 1.55. There really isn't a general rule of thumb to convert the MPH. 88 MPH in the 1/8th sure is a strong number for a 03 Mach 1 with just gears and exhaust.

I dont think that Mach is running 7.79 in the 1/8th w/ just gears and exhaust. Thats somewhere around a 12 flat in the 1/4 mile.

maybe 8.79, definitely not 7.79.
theres not magic forumula, no special calculator that will give you a real accurate 1/8 to 1/4 conversion. They may give you a rough idea, but there are way to many variables to consider.

I will guess 12.20 at 108 MPH. That said what was his 60 foot time? What kind of rear tires was he running? What gear ratio did he have in the rear?

That is a pretty good 60 foot time. Based on that with the other times his 1/4 time maybe closer to 12.3-12.35.

Very impressive 60 footer and 1/8 mile numbers. The 4.30's and the ET streets earned him the good little end numbers.

Like someone else said, too many variables .....but heres an estimated chart.

Yeah, I have seen quite a few different variances of the multipliers throughout different NHRA and IHRA literature as well. But they are just to roughly estimate what your 1/4 ET would be, and if we take them to mean just that they are a pretty good tool.
Only thing is they don't account for alot of the variables like has already been noted. It is not uncommon for a relatively stock car to rip some awesome 60 ft, 330 ft, and 1/8 mile numbers, especially with alot of gear and slicks. The big end of the 1/4 is where the HP really factors in. So if this same guy were to run an actual 1/4 mile, he might actually be more in the upper 12's.
Nevertheless, he has a car that is digging pretty hard for a relatively unmodded chassis/suspension.

Gearbanger. A 1.64 does suck when you go 1.25-1.28 on average. 
If the car has any suspesion mod it should go 1.55-1.58. But alot depend on getting the car to hook. The track prep, tires, suspension adjustment, etc, etc. He would see alot of improvement by getting a real set of slicks:nice. I have never had any luck with the ET Street.
