How's this time slip look?? Need drag tires?
Here is the info:
R/T .113
60' 2.011
330 5.493
1/8 8.331
MPH 88.49
1000 10.729
1/4 12.754
MPH 113.06
This is my best run thus far, still getting the hang of it. Running non-seq is tougher to launch I have found but once you get used to it its not too bad. This run was on normal street tires, not even Z rated ones at that so I was wondering what a set of good drag radials would do for me, is it worth it? I get alot, ALOT of wheel spin so I know there is definitely room for improvement on that time. Any thoughts?

Drag Radials could drop your time by .5 to 1.0 whole second maybe. I have about the same HP as you probably have and I haven't taken my car to the strip yet because I want drag radials on there first hehe.

on how much boost? 13-14lbs?
The ET and trap, 0-60 are good on those tires.
Ive seen alot of FDs posting times, break 12s with 110 traps so a 12.7 at 113 seems about right. perhaps 12.5 on street tires with that 113mph
Id say with that trap you could shave off a few tenths with some slicks.

I was running 14psi. What brand tires do you guys recommend. I was looking at the Nitto 555 extreme's or the BFGoodrich T/A drag radials, any others I should be looking at?

Get the Nitto 555R drag radials. My buddy just recently cut a 1.7 60' on his and he's puting down a LOT more power than you. They're a great tire, very daily driveable. 245/45/16 would be an ideal size for the stock wheels.

also...with that 60' and that trap i expexted to read a faster ET. With a slower 60' and a lower mph (110mph), i ran 12.7. Not sure why this is..maybe vosko or one of the veteran drag racers will chime in.
