60-130 & 1/4 mile calculator...

[ArabianOak]

Is there an accurate calculator people use to determine changes from 60-130 to the 1/4 mile without testing 1/4 mile? For instance if a car gains 2 seconds from 60-130 what should that gain be in the 1/4 mile?

not sure if such a thing exists but figured I would ask...

Doesn't really work that way. If you have an accurate weight of your car you could estimate your HP from the 60-130, and then use that to estimate what your car COULD run in the 1/4 mile assuming optimal tires, gears, suspension, etc

But that makes about as much sense as an elevator in an outhouse.

Eh, take it to the track!!! You're only about 45 minutes away from Byron Dragway if you're in Kane County.

Gonna be a bit before that’s open lol. But I agree, way to many variables.

There are some calculators out there that will closely tie 60-130 to quarter mile trap speed.

OP needs to move to south so he can see how fast his vehicles are.

@ArabianOak , buying all these toys that you cant enjoy year round... why? LOL

My car basically sucks from a legit 60-130 but outperforms most in the 1/4. It’s not a direct comparison

Based off your signature, you 9.6 ran at 143mph, your car is coming out of the whole real strong which explains why your going to beat most cars from a dig or a quarter mile. I trapped close to where you did but ran a 10.5 when I made around 850whp… From a dig in a quarter mile, you would have beaten me by close to 10 cars, from a roll we would have been door to door. I’m well over a 1xxx now, so you still might beat me in a quarter mile, but would probably get walked from a roll (if I can hook) as these setups usually yield 148-153mph trap speeds. Always a drivers race either way. Hope that helps.

That’s a little outdated
