Sounds fair, do you have a 1/4 strip near by?

You can calculate your approximate 1/4 mile time based on using your 1/8 mile time and speed: Wallace Racing - 1/8th Stats to 1/4 Stats Calculator

No 1/4 mile track. So does numbers sound right? Right now its running a street tune on 93. Is there any room for improvement according to mods? If so how? Motor is making aproximately 450hp.
