first run in 1/8 w/ the frank swap

[xx90vtecxx]

every sunday i go out to the track, which is an 1/8, to hang out. well this weekend was the 1st time i ran my hatch since i did the frankenstien swap.

old LS setup = 9.6@71mph (best)

frank setup =

1st run - crappy launch. 9.4@76mph

2nd run - good launch, missed 2nd, it burned out halfway down the track. 9.6@71mph



im going back next weekend hopefully w/ better tires. my goal is to come home w/ a 9.2=)

whats that translate to 1/4 times?

9.6 x 1.5832= 15.198

[kangaroo]

I ran 9.7 1/8th mile and ran a 14.8sec 1/4.
My lauches suck also.

[xx90vtecxx]

9.6 x 1.5832= 15.198

so u just take whatever time and times it by 1.5832?

Yes.

1/8 Mile time X 1.5832 = 1/4 Mile Time

how accurate is that conversion?

why not go to a 1/4 mile track

they;re hard to come by in some areas. the added length of the track just isn;t avalible so the 1/8th mile is all u can do.

Not everyone has a full 1/4 mile track. Like me. There is a 1/8 mile track 5 miles from my house and a 1/4 mile track 40 miles from my house.

can't be too accurate if this is true...VVVV
I ran 9.7 1/8th mile and ran a 14.8sec 1/4.

Every car pulls different on the big end. It is just a quick reference fourmula to get an idea of what your 1/4 mile time might be.

when i did 15.5 when i first ran my car.
my 1/8 was 9.925

i cant find my time slips from last tiem i went, when i did 15.3

[hundredwatt]

I have a friend in pensacola with a gsr swapped hatch that ran 9.2 in an eighth. hope you get it there man.

[watisjdm]

yeah i dont think that accurate ...i mean its kinna close but not accurate

[watisjdm]

even tho my time worked perfect some other of my friends didnt so yeah

[xx90vtecxx]

so went to the track last night. i dont think i let my car cool down enough before i ran but i ran consecutive 9.3's all night on sucky street tires. i was pissed cuz my goal was to leave there w/ a 9.2 and it bugged me cuz i was sooo closew/ a 9.316.

but out of the 4 runs i raced:

modded srt4 (lost to him)
GSR i/h/e (creamed him)
97 camero i/h/e/cam (he didnt burnout and i did and i beat him BARELY)
ran solo

9.6 x 1.5832= 15.198

I doubt thats accurate because your going from a dead stop in the first 8th and the 2nd 1/8 mile your already at 70+miles per hour theres no way to accurately calculate it, just go run it and find out for sure

[Vosty]

it seems fairly accurate... looking at some of my old slips my 1/8 times were mid 9's and my 1/4 mile times were low 15's...
