1/8 mile to 1/4 mile conversion?

I have a buddy who has a car that runs 9.41 in the 1/8 but since I only run 1/4 and don't really pay too much attention to my 1/8 times i was wondering if there is some sort of formula to figure out what a 9.41 1/8 mile time would be if he ran a full 1/4 mile.
Or even if you could just give me an estimate. I just want to be sure I can beat him.

You people really should start using the search button.

Converting 1/8 to 1/4, multiply by 1.56 to give a close estimate. It won't be 100% because there are too many variables that affect the last 1/8 mile.

9.41 x 1.56 = 14.67
