Default Correlation of Quarter mile time to Trap speed q's?

When I run my car, I usually see a trap speed around 104-106mph. What kind of quarter mile times do you usually see with this kind of trap speed?

also keep in mind that the faster your ET gets, the mph usually goes down...
ie.. run 14.9@106 might run 13.5@102

whoa thats crazy. I thought it was hand in hand as time decreases, speed increased. hmm, makes me wonder. i guess its due to the cars ability to accelerate longer to have the higher mph. is this the general rule of thumb?

traction plays a issue, depends if you are running street tires or slicks.

I think moroso has a 1/4 mile/trap time/ET/Hp chart that can convert all of those things to Hp and vise versa.

Its all about the hook. I went 12.9@105 na. Same car with some practice and a warmer track went 12.6@106.
This was about same air temp but the track was warmer so the car was hooking better 60's.
