Odd question but if a car is running a 6 sec @ 112 1/8th what time will it run in the quarter? ........there again it's probably runnin 5.10 gears, but I'd fit a 4.10 gear if that where the case. ..........

As you have rightly indicated you cannot really tell as it will run right out of revs.

What you really need is the rough BHP it makes and its weight; gives you much more to work with.....you can then substitute Tyre Heights and gear choices in the programmes that predict ET's and MPH..........

9.50 @138 using an online 1/8 to 1/4 mile calculator.

Just elaborate on what Blue said.....an optimum chassied car weighing 3000lbs all in>32" tall slicks>4.56 gears>690hp should run.....

60 Foot E.T. : 1.32
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.00
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 113.37
1/4 Mile E.T. : 9.50
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 141
1/4 Mile Trap RPM : 6,757

my chally was a 1/8 mile car 5,38 gears it ran usa 5.52 at 126 best but most times 5,56 125 at 7,200 rpm,s so i took it shakey with the 5,38,s ran it up to 7,200 rpm,s and Bananarama! me 1/8 et 5.56 125 mint the bloke was not tellin porkies, he was a smashin guy by the way, anyway swapped out to 4.56 = 1/8 5.56-58,s at 124=125 quarter 8,91 151 well happy it ran a high 8 every meet no matter what but never bettered that 8.91 from its first time out, thats when i first met ya budge you were a tease even then,,,

it was the wedge with indy sr,s fitted mild cam was a very mild build but ran good no,s and zero maintenance,

So if I fit 4.50s with 700hp and a lighter car I should do the same numbers right

2800lbs at the line, 32" tyre, 700hp, 4.50 gear
60 Foot E.T. : 1.29
1/8 Mile E.T. : 5.83
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 116.50
1/4 Mile E.T. : 9.25
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 145
1/4 Mile Trap RPM : 6853+slip

These are optimum figures not an absolute.
