Is there a way to calculate it using my time slips?

I don't have the website off hand. I'm sure someone will post the site. All you have to do is enter your 1/8 mile time and mph and it will calculate you
estimated 0-60mph.

You may be able to find it doing a search.

I didn't know they existed for 0-60, too.. did the search and found a site:

Here's a nice one to calculate your WHP along with your 1/4 mile time and speed potential.

That's ConeBasher fast! It figured I would hit 60 in almost 4 seconds flat.. which seems pretty accurate if an STi does it in 4.4 seconds and is at least half a second slower in the 1/4 than I'm running.

Tells me 3.97 seconds, that sounds about right. Not bad considering a shift to third. :banana:

Thats conebasher CLAIMED fast. ;)

Difference being?

I ran 112mph in the 1/8th on that pass on my way to a 9.89@130mph žmile... Conebasher ran 103mph in the 1/4 mile.

:alien:

Conebasher was also having some issues.

I dont know how accurate that calculator is...it said 0-60 was 2.96 for my Vette on drag radials...1/8 mile figures were 7.39@94.77

The 6mt makes up the better part of a second in the STi's 4.4 second 0-60 claim. 4 seconds flat would be about right though if your car wasn't a 4eat.

myne seems pretty accurate.

I don't know what the 4eat has to do with anything. I know it's a wider ratio trans, but that online calculator was not designed for a 6mt close ratio STi transmission, it's a generic and universal formula which can be applied to anything, even a two speed powerglide.

My 13.306@104.78 run (8.584@82.30 1/8mile) was calculated at 4.56.

The 4eat has everything to do with slowing down initial acceleration. With any MT, you can rev up to 6k and drop the clutch. That helps 0-60 quite a bit... For example, in my WRX, I had a trap speed of 104.44 (compared to your 104.78) one run... but the ET was 12.9, not 13.3. I turned a 1.7x 60' for that run. What was your 60' for your 13.3? I'm not criticizing your driving; after all, there isn't much to screw up with a 4eat. But I am saying that your 0-60 would probably be about half a second faster if you could launch... Unless you get a high stall, that'd help some.

Us guys with the 4eat can usually leave the line at +/-3800 rpm and full boost.. I cut a 1.765 60 foot with my 12.714@106.82 (8.123@85.24 1/8mile). That was my fastest 1/8 mile time.. most of my 1/4 trap speeds are between 107 and 108mph at 12.7 seconds. My 13.306@104.78 was with a 1.905 60 foot running exhaust manifolds and 17lbs of boost. Believe it or not, the tires sometimes break loose when launching.

I already have the high stall TC and VB upgrade from Level Ten.. but the 1-2 shift is a bit sloppy when the trans is brake torqued for too long.

60' of 1.814
1/8 8.128
mph 86.04
1/4 12.674
mph 108.01

My best time yet.. with a crap 60'.. spun those tires.

There you have it then... how much did your 60's improve once you installed the high stall?

I've always had the modded TC and valve body. The tires spinning hurt my 60 foot more than anything. There's only a few guys pulling off sub 1.7 60 foot times around here.. so 1.765 is nothing to be ashamed of and it would've been a drop quicker if the tires didn't spin off the line.. unfortunately I'm forced to drive through the bleach pit.
