1/4 mile, slick time reduction?
i've searched and didn't come up with anything relevant(maybe I just wasn't using the right words)
What kind of reduction in quarter mile times would I see if I were using slicks compared to street tires?

anyone have a good guess?
for instance I ran a 13.5@110 on VERY hard, bald tires and my first time to the track. TONS of wheelspin, had to shift to 3rd to get any traction. ok you get the picture.
now,what's the difference between a decent set of street tires and a set of ET's or someting?
.5sec? .75sec?

110 is a good mph! I bet you would drop almost a full second from the previous time. But realize you are going from zero traction to full traction.
On average, drag radials get you a couple of tenths and slicks about half a second, coming from good street tires.
What are your mods?

I think most average drivers get 12.8 - 13.1 with just regular street tire w/normal modifications. My best is 12.9 @ 112 @ 2400 ft above sea level.
But with launching at 6500 - 7000 with some M and H tires... 12.15 @ 114 @ 2400 above sea level.
I have heard of gifted drivers like Kyle Kruliek Kevin Wyum and Nick at N-tech get really low 12's on street tire.
I don't know how these guys do it... but must be speed shifting.
Does anyone know how these guys get some great times with just regular street tire...?

my best on 9yr old street rubber is 2.03 60'...i ran 12.72 @111.5mph. with full exhaust, intake, power fc @ 12psi.
My goal this spring is 11s with stock motor and stock twins. I have all the bolt ons now. I plan on running 15psi with mt et streets...i see no reason why this cant be done. i just need to learn how to do a nice burn outand figure out what rpm to launch at without breaking anything.
