If the durations ratio is by a factor of 8, if normal work day is 8 hours day, perhaps it is due to the difference in how P6 and P3 is storing durations, days versus hour. This is called the planning unit.

If this is so you can solve the issue with global changes but as far as I remember correction for lag values must be manual, the field is not available on the global change.

Google on how to make changes in planning unit for P3, maybe you will hit something of help.

If you opt to keep Days as planning unit you can make the duration changes as per following link.
