Are you through a manual or auto? I'm a built auto, and when I spray my meth I'm shooting for 550+, and through an auto this should be deep 10s. If you are only shooting for 11.5-11.9 you can honeslty hit that without even building your motor up...

Its a manual, I figured I could do it with out building the motor up but I know how weak the stock internals are after 400 you are playing with fire. I was thinking with forged internals, a 3.4 pulley a new intake, an SCT tune and some fuel upgrades and I should be in the 11.5-11.9 range. If I can get deeper in the 11s or high tens then buy all means I will.

Nice list and good luck.
Only thing I see that isnt good are those Summi Tires.Theyre awful.

If you can get yourself a set of Nitto's 555 they're much better tire for the money.


GL and thanks for your service

Just so you know with power and 4.10s , anything less that a 28 inch tire is almost impossible to hook at the track.

If your dead set on keeping a radial tire I would go with a 325/50/15 ET street which would be a 28 inch tire, you may have to roll the inner fender a little. I went right for the bias ply wrinkle wall ET Street because its DOT approved so I can run street legal drags at my local track, I went with a 28x12.50 r15. My car is lowered with an eibach pro kit out back and they just fit perfect and rub a TINY bit on the fender lip so Im gonna have them rolled.

Nice info man, what size wheel is that I'm guessing a 15x10? I was thinking about keeping the 315 for the street and getting a set of drag slicks for the track.
