Gears & Axles - Anyone 1.5 sixty on ET streets?

I have cut a 1.52 60 ft. on 26" x 11.5" x 16" ET Streets mounted on factory '01 Z28 wheels at HRP. If you are going to buy new ET Streets definitely get the 11.5" wide tires. They run a little smaller in size compared to the ET Drags.

man some of you guys have some awesome track prep.damn!

i cut a 1.66 on Hoosiers, then backed it up with a 2.12 <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> (how track prep for that)

1.57 11.5x26x16's
1.53 11.5x36x15's

But honestly I would have cut a low 1.5 on the 16's if I still owned them.

Cool sounds like I will go with ET Streets for now <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Thanks guys!

Damn PSJ! How did you get the 36's to fit! <img src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

Oops, I meant 26's.

I'm looking for some 1.5x 60' times tomorrow night on 26x11.5x16 ET Streets. I'll let ya know. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I have a 1.59 on nittos <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />

Hi guys, I am trying to decide what to do about tires for the car. My ET Drags are worn out. The Canadian dollar is in the shitter so I dont know if I want to shell out all that extra cash for Centerlines and Hoosier slicks.
Have you guys managed to get 1.50 sixties on 26x10x16 inch ET Streets?
I may buy a set to throw on the stock 16 inch rims and wait to get the Centerlines till next season. I wont get them though if I cant hit a high 1.4 or low 1.5 sixty with them. (Running HCI setup and 4.11s with spool and TP4400 converter.)
Thanks!
Chris

1.57 for me.

I saw CEndres cutting 1.55's.

Both of us has 11.5's.

I have with a 6 speed and have done it..pretty sticky track though. I would do slicks over them anyday though.

1.53 on 26x10.5x16

Chris, I think 1.50 is possible if you're setup for it underneath. The 1.53 was on stock suspension, including the flexy torque arm.

If you're not sure weather they can hold a 1.50, go with the 26x11.5x16's.

1.44 on nitrous, 1.56 on engine

26x10.5x15 ET streets

Nice.... <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

1.52 to 1.50 ALL MOTOR!!!

DriveaTransam went mid 1.5s on 245 16" nittos

im pretty sure BradWS6 went 1.5s on 275 17" nittos

SSBOY, that must have been CARLSBAD raceway you made those passes on. Oh thats right do they even have 60ft. timers yet? I used to love Bakersfield, nice elevation , great starting line, awesome track, too bad its like 3 hours away!

I went 1.53 26x11.5x15 et streets on 100 shot. <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

I have hit 1.57-1.58 a few times (not consistently) on my old 26x10.5x15 ET Streets. Fully loaded pig on a completely stock suspension at the time (minus front swaybar). Those tires never had the consistency off the line as slicks though, so when I bracket raced I had to leave at a lower rpm to keep them consistent (1.70 60' range for bracket racing).
