Default Tested ETDrags 9.5/15/26 vs ETStreet

The Drags hook better than my old 26/10.5/15s Streets.

The 60'were 1.58 almost every pass.The BIG problem was crashing the 2-3 shift limiter hard.This size added a bit of gear.

The car set a PO502 code,never had that one in over 300 passes.It would not make the 2-3 shift.,something to do with speed sensor.

I thought the trans was toasted.I reset the limiter up to 6600 from 6500 and left the shift points at +1/1-2 and +1/2-3,seems OK now.The track was closing and I wish we could have got 3 more runs in to test.

What a PIA,these cars are touchy,who would have thought just a tire change would cause this much changing.

BTW,car ran 11.745 at 114.55 and 11.749/113.9[this one with 2-3 shift at 0],good for the weather we had.

Anyone else ever set the PO502?

I have to get a KR box from Tony,my car set both KR codes with the set up I have and I am sure it pulled timing.I ran out of time and could not Atap.

The 60'with ET Streets were the same but on my track it was hit and miss.The ET Drag with a short burn out dead hook.

I wanted to run them at 16 psi[had them at 14]but ran out of time.

jfm, Do you think those 26x10x15 et drags would fit a 7.5" wide convo pro.

Thanks,Chris

My bad,the size is 26x8.5-15.You can call MT and ask rim range they recommend.

IMO,26x10-15 on a 7.5 rim would cause it to crown but it don't hurt to call and ask.

They should fit on that rim, I'm running 26"x10.5"x15" Et streets on a 7" wide rim... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

They do fine, haven't tested them at the track yet, and I'm not sure if they are going to be able to hook of the brake at all... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I have the 10.5 Drag on the 7.5 Convo, and they are fine so far. Got 3 runs in at Norwalk, & my 60's were 1.52 on every run. Not bad for the last day the track was open (ie: no track prep).
