I came across this on another site. It seems to work in my application.
60' = ET X .12 + .17
Example
8.32 X .12 + .17 = 1.1684
My actual 60 is 1.17 to 1.18.
Lets see some answers Vs real world #"s.

Well it looks like it only works if you use a 2 step and not an air cylinder.
My car on 2 step runs 9.36 x.12 + .17=1.29 which is what it ran on 2 step and turbo. Now it has 1.40, 1.39 60 ft and runs 9.36 it doesn't compute I know also now have a glide? Leaving on aircylinder only slowed my 60 ft times, hardly noticable in 1/4 mile times.

I've watched your car launch numerous times and I must admit, I think the way your using that air cylinder is the way to go. Easier on parts, consistent 60' times and equally as good 1/4 mile times. I'm not sure if its right for everyone but your car seems to like it. I wonder if it would work on a dragster without rear suspension? It seems like the softer I hit the tires the less consistent my 60's are. I also end up porpoising for @ 100' if I'm not aggressive enough.

Ive been using air cylinder for about 5 years. I do miss the wheelies though!!!!!! My 60' are very consistant, driver error is my biggest trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought about firing him but the boss says no............

Works for my combo also.
(7.67 x .12) + .17= 1.090
I've ran several 7.67's and 7.68's the last couple times out and my 80ft's have been in the 1.090-1.094 range on all of those passes except one was a 1.085

Works well for me. Calculator says 1.464 and I am usually 1.47-8.
