81mph on the 1/8 track= to what on the 1/4 mile?
well, my car ran 81mph on street tires on the 1/8 track, and since there isnt a 1/4 mile track close, i was wondering if there's a way to figure out the 1/4 mile speed based on the 1/8 mile speed.

The bad news is that does really suck for your mods.
The good news is it can be improved, you just have to find out what's wrong!

I'm making enough power to trap 87 in the 1/8 on a crappy track with the stock TB and injectors. You need a tune bad it sounds like. Do you have a cable so you can get a laptop on your car? If you can do that, there is some great software out there you can scan your car with. Even better is that it's free for thirty days! This way you can see your timing retard because of knock, injector duty cycle, get a very, very rough estimate of running rich or lean etc.
