Default M/T ET Street DR 325/50 15s..Anyone

Looking at trying these. anoyone had any luck with them? I was real happy with the 275/40 17s but they were no match for a N2O launch.

has anyone tried using them on there car(not friend of a friend) and had luck in the 9 second range with a heavy hit out of the hole?

Not running anywhere near the Wolfe's car times. But they hook.

I'm in the yellow CE TA. M/T 325/50's on a 3700lb car.

Last season (on the 325's) ran a best of 9.47 @ 140 mph at 3450 lbs w/driver, N/A bbc, footbrake launch, 1.327 60'.

M/T ET Radials work very well.

I'm planning to try the Hoosier DOT D/R's this season.

Nice. How hard is it to get them to fit an F-Body? They will be going on 10in Bogarts.

The car is heavy at 3,600

I run the 325/50 M/T and as said they work very good.

I have also put the car on the bumper with the Hoosier 325/50 DR's.

Times in Sig.

Ellis, you will be amazed at how well they hook. Shoot me an e-mail @ clintschexnayder@hotmail.com and I'll give you some details on making them fit. I ran low 1.4's on n2o with stock suspension and plan on low 1.3's with my new suspension setup. I have a few questions for you too. Later Clint

For him, at least two sets if not three

Madman - getting closer to having the shop set up, I'll have to hit you up on performance of the TT you stuffed in that. I'm still not convinced but the LT1 is an odd duck to be sure.

gator - haven't been out lately but he may be maxed on the lca's and I doubt he will start banging on the inner fenders. He is more likely to come up with a better fitment which wouldn't be a bad thing at all

Two nine race serise and possibly a 12 race serise. It takes at least two sets a year

We have a Mini 'SEMA' type show for speed shops and I get a good deal on them so I buy for the season

One way or another this Bitch is hooking this year!

MUST GET LIGHTER!!!!!

Well you have to either massage the inner fender wells with a hammer a bit or minitub the car b/c there is no other way to put 13.2" of tire under an F-body unless you have them sticking out the car.
