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, 04:26 PM

They will be alot better...

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'

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, 05:45 AM

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

Drgnracin72 · August 11th, 2006, 03:56 PM

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

militarygt · August 11th, 2006, 06:37 PM

i just have 3.73 gears

C MY 4D · August 12th, 2006, 05:30 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, 02:52 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.

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, 03:17 AM

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