I am running 12.9 @ 117 with a 2.15 60Ft. Here is one of my first passes. I think my 60 was like 2.2 on this one but got better later. First trip to the track. So what do you think it will run with more tire?

 

[Ryguy33]

faster

 

[Applehead281]

are these dr's or street tires?

 

[SteviGX]

alot faster....117 trap is about 9 to high for a 12.9 haha

 

[smccoy916]

Im running the nitto 555 street tires. 285/35/18

get slicks and you'll be killin boys

 

[Applehead281]

with a good set of dr's definitly a 12.20-12.00 car that 60 foot is killing you! there is a kid from texas running stock heads with longtubes stage 2 hitech cams with all the bolt on's with slicks it ran 12.16 @111, you will definitly be in that catagory. check out the video it is on youtube type in 12.16 n/a mustang.

I was thinking of getting some 15" wheels with some 315 ET streets.

He also has full suspension and is weighs like 3200 with him in it. His name is trevor, he's a member here and many other forums.

With the power your putting down on slicks you should be able to cut at least a 1.6 and possible break 11's

I wouldn't do a 315 et street radial. I'd get a 26x11.5x15 et street bias ply and be done. If your gonna spend that much money get the bias plys since you wont be running then on it daily

The car has way more power in it. It was only making 4PSI of boost thanks to a dime size hole in my ebay intercooler. You dont think ET streets will be enough? I do have a full suspension but I cant drive even close to trevor. I've seen his vids.

what do you suggest for me i have 15x8 welds and need some dr's i run 275/60 street tires but they rub when i hit a bump, 275/50 maybe what do you think?

 

[SteviGX]

Well a 275 50 will be a 25.8" tall tire so pretty close to stock. Right now you are running damn near a 28" tall tire which is pretty damn big. Thats actually prolly hurting you since you dont have to power to need a tire that big. I'd go with a 275/50 or a 275/55 if you want a taller tire than stock

see the clearance issue!

 

[SteviGX]

Are your fenders rolled? the backspacing looks a bit off

 

[Applehead281]

do they flare out?

 

[Applehead281]

i got the 5.5 backspacing

 

[SteviGX]

Well if they are rubbing right up on the inside of the fender you can have that rolled to give you more clearance. Is your tire rubbing when you launch? any where? like inner or outer fenderwell?

 

[Applehead281]

it doesn't rub when i launch, but during driving on the street it rubs constantly maybe i need to lose weight lol, it does rub the fender right on the inner edge.
