when I go to the track next week I am going to run on street tires. I am running some 275 riken raptors, I am going to air them down to about 20-25 psi heat them up and run it I think I should hook pretty decent like that what do you guys think and do you have any tips.

I'm sure there are people on here way more experience than I am, but I do know that with street tires you want to go around the water pit and when you do the burnout it doesn't have to be big. Just good enough to warm them up some, but mainly cleaning them off.

I just ran the other day doing that with about 22psi in my tires and hooked excellent. It really depends on the track prep as well though.

You are putting down a lot of power. Not sure if those street tires will hold. I would try 3/4 throotle out of the hole and then punching it and work up from there(and what flaming chicken told you to do). Did you get the tune checked yet? I know youbwere having some issues.

I ran a 12.5 @ 116 yesterday on my Nitto 555 Extremes.(315/35/17) I took the psi down to 30 (hot) and i pulled a 2.0 60' I think maybe if i lowerd them down a bit i would have gotten a better 60'

I reved to 3k and slipped the clutch out

I figured out what I was doing wrong I ran it in OD and my tuner was telling me there is no stall lockup in OD so I would get out the the whole pretty decent but then the car would just level out. What I should of done is ran it in D so I went out on the street and played with it some from D and it seems to make a big difference so on wed or friday I am going to go to the track and see what kinda times I pull.

I've run one lucky 12.18@113 1.78-60' on some well used nitto 555r's other than that one run the rest of the night it went 12.6's with high 1.8/ low 1.9's with the Nittos. I never tried to run on street tires again, I switched to 26x11.5x16 ET Streets and started pulling mid/low 1.7's on the motor (stock 3.23's and VIG3,200). car was making 404/399 at that time. Its been a long time but I want to say I had them at 20-22psi W/4-5 sec burnout going around the water.
Also, with my car leaving in Od vs. D didnt seem to matter at all curious to see if it will really make a difference for you.

did you have your stall tuned to lock up in OD mines does not lock up in OD so I am guessing it should make a difference I will see next week

Nah, my stall wasnt tuned like that, it didnt lock up period, regardless of gear when at WOT. your not going to MPH enough to shift into 4th/OD in the 1/4 so i dont see why it would matter even if it was tuned to lock up as it would never be in 4th anyways. maybe im not understanding something ?

maybe I am missing something also I dont know I'm going to the track this week to see if it makes a diff
