ok , get that short time down and your lookin at a 14.8 im gonna guess...

i traped 98 at 14.6 w. just exhaust. w. the DRs i trap the same speed at 14.2

get ur short time down to like a 2.2 or so and youll see 14s

dimebag

its not screamin low 14s i dont think... mid-high 14s..i would say n e way

stupidaso06

awesome! oh ya not to mention tonight was the first night ive ever had it at the track. so not bad for a beginner? it was the second time racing though

dimebag

o ****, 1st night... not bad at all...

stupidaso06

well thats good to know. what size radials should i be lookn for? and on what rim size?

dimebag

personally i use 235/60/15s... mickey thompson et drag radials

also good are bfg and nitto... what size rim do u have? if u have 15s go w. the MTs, if there 16s, i think nitto makes something a good size in that, but im not sure, never looked into the 16s

stupidaso06

as of right now still with stock rims so 15's

dimebag

ok heres the quick low down on DRs

lasting- shortest time to longest
mt, bfg, nitto

grip-worst to best
nitto, bfg, mt

i payed 305 for my 2 mickey thompsons... and they helped alot, however i still can spin them launching... because of my ****ty suspension

stupidaso06

thanks for your help and it sounds like im in the same boat with the junk suspension! so do you just have a different set of rims for the rear then?

Hey tonight was my second time running down at gateway. I managed a 14.2@99.4 tonight. but sat I pulled a 14.1@99.6mph. My car is a 91 Lx 5.0 with 205,000 miles and pretty much stock. I have motorsports lowering springs, adjustable fpr, subframes, king cobra clutch, pro5.0 shifter, no ac compressor or smog pump and an electric fan with headers back exhaust with no cats. Here is my best slip. I think I am in the high 13's with a better 60'.
60'-2.244
