1/8 to 1/4 times

I just had my car to the track for the first time. It ran consistent 8.32s at 85-86 mph. With 1.88-1.89 60 ft. Stock suspension, 3.42s and bald 295 F1 Supercars (24-26 psi). Car weighs about 3550 with me in it. What kind of 1/4 mile times should I expect? I know I want to get a set of M/T DR's for the stock 16" wheels. What suspension mods should I try? Thanks.

Re: 1/8 to 1/4 times

I believe most take their 1/8 and multiply it times 1.555...that gives you APPROX. what you should run in the 1/4...

8.32 x 1.555=12.93ish...so probably high 12s low 13s

Re: 1/8 to 1/4 times

its just a rough estimate but I have always used 1.56 and been in the ball park.

8.32 x 1.56 = 12.97

as already stated should be good for a high 12 or low 13...
