first time at track. how'd i do??

R\T ......... 1.172
60' ......... 2.293
330' ....... 6.325
1/8 ......... 9.815
MPH ........ 67.15
1000 .......13.142
1/4 ..........15.897
MPH .........80.74

Now i know you'r probably wondering why the 1\4 time\speed was so slow, its because my tranny keep slipping going into 3rd at WOT.

so i finished in 2nd gear.. what do u guys think i would of made if i had shifted into 3rd??

Since you should be shifting into third around the 1/8 mile mark, converting the 1/8 mile time gets you a 15.31

MPH should be around 87-90 at that speed.

Get your tranny fixed and try again.

A 9.8 in the 1/8th seems kinda slow to me, especially with your mods. I run a 9.1 in the 1/8 with a just next to stock l98. Just practice

And how do you convert your 1/8th times into 1/4 times? I remember seeing it somewhere but I can't find it nor remember it?

1/8 mile x 1.56 is the closest conversion.
