militarygt · August 10th, 2006, 03:22 PM

ya i am thinkin about those ets. i think they will be so much better than my original choice of BFG drag ta

ChrisJ · August 10th, 2006, 03:26 PM

They will be alot better...

Drgnracin72 · August 10th, 2006, 03:31 PM

i had a chance to run both of thsoe tires back to back on my old cobra, and it was night and days difference. nearly a 1/10 in the 60'

C MY 4D · August 11th, 2006, 12:20 AM

IF you run those tires and really launch on them you better have a built rear-end. Launching on a radial is alot more detrimental to parts than a slick.

No joke. I launched on a set of those with my supercoupe and it sheared off the output shaft of the aod, heh.

militarygt · August 11th, 2006, 04:45 AM

thanks for the advice. what do you think a good, SAFE launch rpm would be?

Drgnracin72 · August 11th, 2006, 02:56 PM

2000-2500 but you might bog a little from there. is your rearend built at all?

militarygt · August 11th, 2006, 05:37 PM

i just have 3.73 gears

C MY 4D · August 12th, 2006, 04:30 AM

it'll prolly bog. there really isn't a safe launch rpm. with drag radials you also have to worry about the 1-2 shift.

Drgnracin72 · August 12th, 2006, 01:52 PM

well i dont know man its gonna bog down that low but i think without a built rearend your really pressing your luck if you go higher than 3 with it but good luck.

stang fanatic · August 12th, 2006, 10:39 PM

For those suggesting or running the e.t's...run them on the street alot? or are you switching at the track? Curious to know about street effects on the et's.

C MY 4D · August 13th, 2006, 02:17 AM

When I used to run my DD I would swap at the track
