conversion question. ET times
ok so i have a couple a of friends that work at a mustang shop and they have all kinds of 5.0's that are all track built. their prized car is a 331 dart block, turbo'd at 23psi and it runs 6's in the quarter. that just seems insanely slow but i never really payed any attention to 1/8 mile tracks but thats all we have close to here.
no what would a 6 in the eighth equivlate to on a 1/4 miles track? they have other 5.0's that run 8's and 7's with full h/c/i and stick tires . what would those times be equivilant to? i just dont like 1/8 mile tracks, im so use to seeing1/4 numbers/times.

i had no idea. thats why i was asking. i hear about quarter mile all the time but i only ever see 1/8th so i guess i dont have anything to compare to. so what would a 6 in the 1/8run in the quarter 9's or 10's?
