Which slick:10inch ET Drag or 9inch Hoosier Drag? Help me out here guys. I have tried every tire imagineable on my car but have not do so with the new setup. Here is a run down of what i have found.
Bolt ons,3200 Vigil,B1 cam,3.42 with 26x10 M/T Drags: The car 60ft. nice but gave up ET and MPH on the top end with the swelling of the tires,3.42s could not recover in time. Now i have 10.5 ET streets with 3.73s and do not have any problems of tire swelling BUT i can't get the car to launch without a good prep'd track. I'm wondering how much i will give up on the topend with the 10" Drags with 3.73s. I cross the traps now at 6000-6100 rpms.
Hoosier Drag 26x9x15s
o they hook as good as M/T Drags or better? Has anyone got solid proof of a gain by switching to the hoosiers that they do better? I really like the overall size of these tires and i think they will be as good as the 10.5 ET Streets on the topend (swelling wise) but i need to 60ft. HARD with the Hoosiers as well.
Scott,in search of 1.5 60fts. again!

Re: Which slick:10inch ET Drag or 9inch Hoosier Drag? E-Mail Trevor D. He loves the 9" Hoosiers. I'm sure he can give you some good comparisons between ET Streets & Hoosier full 9" slicks. Best wishes. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
