Generally (and I mean generally), 1.57 times your 1/8th mile ET. FWD/turbo cars tend to be a little better than that because they have a bigger charge on the big end. My car on the other hand is a little worse (1.585) but I'm planning to do better at the next track day

Yeah, I haven't had any time to mess with anything, but I'm feeling good about this next track day
