You can only estimate, there are a lot of variables. For comparison, when I ran at a 1/4 mile track a while back and my times were:

1/8: 8.99
1/8: 79.75 MPH
1/4: 13.87
1/4: 101.6 MPH

That sounds about right with just the few mods that you have done. I cut a sh**y 60' with my TA with a 2.3 60' and pulled a 9.3 1/8 @ 79.9 mph first time at track with a new Stage 3 clutch, turned out I had (and still have) a cracked exhaust manifold and my diff was missing a few teeth. Can't wait to get some longtubes and a cutout and see what I can run then, as long as I pull a better 60'.

8.34@84mph 1/8th
13.01@105 1/4

but that was my first time at a 1/4 mile track and I think I let out of the throttle about 30ft before the box. i would guess a 9.0 would be about a 13.7-13.9 depending on variables.

The reaction time shouldn't affect the e.t. Don't feel bad my first one was .946, they get better with practice. As for e.t. 14.00-13.8 sounds about right.

Dude you need some traction or a stall. You should be much better in the 1/8th.

My only time at the track with my Camaro I got a 9.4 1/8th @ 83mph.

My tires are terrible and there was nothing I could do to keep traction in 1st and 2nd.

Actually PredatorZ28 asked for help, not opinions....... .

You can estimate 1/4-mile times from 1/8-mile times:

Multiply ET by 1.55:
9.006 x 1.55 = 13.96-sec

Multiply MPH by 1.25:
79.29 x 1.25 = 99.11MPH

Only an approximation, but looks good for a first try... much better than I did the first time out....... .

Since you're running "Sportlines", you will need LCA relocator brackets for decent traction.
