I'm wondering what kind of 60' improvements I'm going to get from going from the stock tire/rim size to 305/35/18 nitto 555r extreme II drag radials. I pulled a 1.9 60' on the stock tires. What times can I expect?

With the front swaybar removed you could get 1.6,s and be able to launch at 4000 to 5000.

WOW!! Can anybody post a link to these tires?

Thats insane launching at 4000 to 5000! I must get these tires as a final test for the 7.5 T-LOK with 3.73's reinforced with a girdle...

Nice thread, and info guys..


Got it!!

You guys just take out the sway bar? Is that ok for daily driving if we still want some handling?

You know Mike told me if he took the front sway bar out of my car and didn't tell me I would never notice. He was right. He helped me take it out at the track one day and it's been sitting in the junk pile ever since. You do get slightly more body roll when going around a sharp turn at moderate speed but that's about it. When drag season is over this weekend I will put it back in though.

Shifty

How much does it help at the track?

dustindu4

Less than .05 off your time I would guess. It does help your front tires come off the ground.

Hey guys! I was searching for some MT Drag radials and came across this..

Shouldnt this guy be doing more with 422RWHP? A 12.7ET? With MT drag radials. Am I missing something?

Shifty

It looks like he doesn't have a tuner on it. Or he might not be a real great driver.

$313.00 a piece? No thanks! LOL!

You can run some M/T ET Streets on another pair of rims and tires would last alot longer, becaus eyou will have street tires and track tires.
