Default track heades gotta question 1/8th to 1/4 comparo's

so ive made alot of passes on my car and come to know and expect some things based on what goes on in the 1/8th...
1st: my car is a sport shift auto and im in 3rd before the end of the 1/8th and remain in 3rd through the 1/4 3rd is good for 113mph +
i have over 300 passes in the 1/8th and 100 in the 1/4

2nd i average 21Msph pick up from the 1/8th to the 1/4 with an occasional 22
with some of this in mind,can i make any assumptions about my previous best runs versious new...here are some break downs

previos best 1/4 :
2.068
5.869
8.930
@79.85
11.583
1/4 13.794
@101.54

current best 1/8th
2.013
5.650
8.647
@81.53

obviously im making more power now...but i guess my question is...as power goes up does the gain in mph go up or does that remain more constant ? and if you pick up 3/10ths in the 1/8th how many 10th do you knock of on the second half...
looking for good guesses

Just go to the track and find out or do a calculator to get an estimate. I 'm not Ms Cleo.

Pretty sure some of us are going downto BMP Sat 19th for test and tune. Why don't you bring it and find out for sure instead of guessing. Besides you'll have a blast hanging out.

I guess this means no. 50 or below. That is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Besides I put down my best pass at BMP at the last track day and it was humid and in the low 70's high 60's and I drive a boosted car. I do not think weather that cold will actually help you on a N/A car. Tell your boss you need the 19th which is a Saturday off and lets see what it will do.
