What did you run in the 1/8th? What was your sixty foot?

 

[CyFi6]

That has to be the worst quality video I have seen in years.

 

[MK3Hitman21]

My sixty foot was 2.6 it was horrible but I dropped a 9.0 on street tires on stock pressure 52 psi on the rear tires.

 

[MK3Hitman21]

The last run was a 9.4 2.6 sixty ft. Same tire pressure didn't turn them down. But I will next time I go. Traction problems

Drop that pressure to 25-30 and get a lot of grip back. Can't go as low as drag radials, but 52psi is waaaay high!

Obviously some ET streets/drag tires would be superb for traction, but not always do-able. 15x8 rim with 5.5" backspacing, throw some 26x10.5x15 MT ETstreet bias-ply tires on it= very good traction for relatively cheap!

Ya 52 psi is way to high.

 

[MK3Hitman21]

I new it was high I just ran the car to see what it would do.

 

[MK3Hitman21]

It was my first time at the track.

 

[toyotanos]

No worries, we're just here to help

 

[MK3Hitman21]

I know thanks a lot. I will have drag radials next time
