Drag Racing Tech - Switched to MT dr

i hope this is not a duplicate thread i looked and did not find the answer i was looking for. I have been running my ta on some bald, and i mean really really bald street tires and the best pass i had was 8.6930 at 87.33 with a 2.2169 60'. i just put on some 275/40/17 MT dr and i was wonding how much time you guys droped after switching from street tires. I have problems with spining all the way down the track. Oh i am also shooting 100 dry to the car. So every time it sprays and i shift i spin the tires. just trying to get some thing to shoot for this friday when i go to the eight mile. don't have a quarter any were close. any input would be great and i already know that my car is slow and should be running alot faster!! :bang: :jest:

You shouold be in the 1.8 to 1.9 60 fts with ease. What 1/8 mile track are you running at?

slip the clutch and she should go 1.6-1.7 60' - but its not easy. all in teh driver with t56 combos

i have been running the one here in lawton, it is call sooner motorplex. i am going to go up to the one in norman call thundervalley i think with one of my buddies. I am going to head out on friday and see what she will do and try not to break the rear. i am really worried about the shift into second i heard that is a killer. but that is comming from guy with head and cam i am running petty much stock just on the bottle.

here are the tires that i did the 8.6, i am not an expert on racing but i think they might be part of the the reason that i was spining but i am not sure!! hey if any one needs some tires just let me know i will let the "slicks" go for cheap :jest: :jest:

cheater slicks lol

I grew up in Lawton with my Dad racing at the old drag strip. I hope to make it up there very soon to try out the new track. Good luck but be careful with the stock 10 bolt with a M6 hotrod. We have all been there and done that.

Thats VERY possible with the M/T DRs.. Like gator said earlier.. Its all about the driver when it comes to 6spds... So, LET IT EAT!!! :drive:

I got low 1.7s but is good for high 1.60s with a little more launch . You are going to have to leave pretty hard to get it down there with the 3.42s . Good luck with the stock rear in mine is still holding strong after about 40 passes .

yeah this weekend is going to be just taking it easy and getting used to the new tires. but if i do break the rear my bubby has a set of 4.10 at his house just in case. don't want to use them cause gas is so damn expensive as is.
