These are the actual 1/4 mile times that I ran.
I just used the 1/8th mile numbers on the slips.

14.943 @ 91.67
14.163 @ 99.08

The conversion makes the numbers a little higher, maybe your guys' cars are faster than you think they are.

I ran a 9.582 @ 73.11mph with a 2.126 60' with the carb 305.
Then with the TPI on the 305, I ran a 9.297 @ 79.52mph with a 2.335 60'

What would my 1/4 mile times be?
If I'm not mistaken, the IDEAL equation would be 1/8th mile time multiplied by 1.55.
14.85 on that first time
.39 on that second time

Rough, IDEAL, estimates.

The lighter the car the faster it will accelerate....

so those numbers are close...but really you need to run the 1/4 mile and come up with what the average is for your car.

I'll hit the track in about 2 months when my car is back together. I can't wait to see what she runs.
I really want to take her on a road course and have some real fun.

Closed. I read a handful of topics and I've seen enough. Some good info here but we don't need the bickering and name calling.
