for 1/8th mile just alter the formula to 660/MPH = ET

I realize you didn't have the clutch "optimized". That can be difficult on a dual purpose car, too many compromises for street duty.
The MPH loss is just a fact of life when going from a manual race trans to a PG. You would spend a ton of money on an automatic trans to get that MPH back; and I'm not sure it is possible.
Dropping 4 MPH & only having 1 shift is like going down the track in slow motion, huh?
