Default Bfg Dr ?

I had junk tires last fall when I went to the track ( LVD ). I ran 13.4/106. 2.0 - 2.2 60's. On an otherwise stock car will I be able to drop those 4 tenths and run a high 12 with some better rubber? I know you guys hate these questions but I'm gonna ask anyway

You should be able to run a 12.9@106 with a 1.85 60' time. The 60' makes a huge difference. I run my BFG drag radials at 18 psi, and heat the crap out of them, Fred

I have ran a 1.40 on DR's and swapped to my 28" slicks only to run the same 60' at a bit less mph due to growth on the slicks. If you can get your car to dead hook on slicks, the proper DR will be just awesome. Just don't spin them as they won't recover like a slick. Take care.
