M/T DR didn`t work!!! Went to the track saturday night happy with my new M/Ts hopping for low 12s. I ran a couple of 12.8 ,12.7 , 12.6 with a 2.1-2.2 crappy 60`, my best was:
R/T .260
60 2.006
330 5.464
1/8 8.212
Mph 88.98
1000 10.640
1/4 12.598
Mph 112.43
I am pleased with the times since my mods are only LTs, tsp true duals, spec3 + steel flywheel and a lid, adjustable Tq arm.
spare tire and Jack + rearseat where taken out.
I was very dissapointed with M/Ts ,they didn`t hook as I thought , the best I could do was 2.006 60`, I did almost 8 passes with a tire pressure between 22-15 .
does anybody had any difficulties getting those MTs on a M6 under the 2.000 60`? any comments?

i totally disagree with the above post. 21 psi and a small burnout. for the radials to work, you cant shock the tire. you will have to slip the clutch adn that tire WILL hold. if you are dumping the clutch or the track is trashed, you will spin.
many many many of us have gone 1.4 60' (myself included) and under on this tire.

Yeah, I cut a 1.60 on M/T drag radials w/ an M6, stock shocks, and lowered suspension. These tires are good. Something else is definitely wrong. Could be a loose nut behind the wheel 
Sorry, I couldn't resist...

I've had good luck with these, best of 1.52 60 foot on 275/60/15 size. 8" rim, 17-18 psi, 2-3 burnout and they hook! As mentioned above by a few, stick cars need more finesse likely as opposed to an auto.

well the way i did it is setting the tire pressure at 15 psi( thats for the best run) and did a reasonable smokey burnout , steped on the line and holded the clutch at 2600 rpm and slipped it .( I tried dumping , but 60` was worser) .
stock springs and shocks too.

I agree I run 22psi small burnout and cut 1.32s on spray the best of a 1.44 on motor.
Even when I had stock suspension they hooked very well for me. Thats when I got my best 60 ft of a 1.32
If I can find one of my burnout videos I will post it for you. Not much of a burnout is needed with MT DRs
