you can set up a car to many different things---60 foot---- 1/8th ---1/4---ET--MPH what ever --- just cuz ya have a tremendous 60 foot time doesnt mean that the 1/4 is going to be fantastic too---now if the exact same or similiarly classed car car had a 1.39 vs. your 1.49 and the same 1/4 ET/MPH then you need to pick up your 60 a bit cuz a rule of thumb is for every .01 of 60 double it at the other end and take that time off your 1/4 mile ET and that's what your corrected ET should be--- for example 1.49 =60 and the 1/4 ET is 10.20 so if you could pick it up to say a 1.45=60 your 1/4 et should be .03x2+.06 new ET should be 10.14--- not carved in stone too many variables to consider but I hope this will give ya an idea
