Default Budget Drag Slick & Rim

Currently have Nitto 555R zr1 rim

Built M6 Moser 12Bolt Cam 360rwtq 355rwtq Low number dyno

Best Time 12.73 110.83 mph 2.02 60ft spinning lots


What are my options for a real slick and rim? Or Try another drag radial Hoosier or MT and use my zr1s

in my experience i had the nittos and they didn't hook as good as the mickey t's. with my nittos i would still spin off the line as soon as i got the mickeys that stopped immediately. went from a 2.1 to a 1.9 60' but i am an auto also.

Hey bud, here are those et street drs i was telling you about that phil at fast toys had for sale. If he still has them i dunno, worth a shot. http://www.thefbody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6358 Local forum that doesnt get much traffic.

These are your best bet if you want to keep your zr1's.

If you want to run a dedicated rim/tire combo thats a whole other story.

If my draglites will fit on your 12bolt your more then welcome to give them a try if you want. Calipers need to be ground on the stock 10bolt, but im not sure about the 12bolt.

You could buy a set of Weld Racing RTS wheels...I don't know your budget..but I think..they are priced very well for what they are...and they fit over OEM LS1 brakes so you get all the advantages of a light weight 15" drag wheel, without the hassle of spending hours to fit them. Being a six speed, I would shitcan the idea of using a drag radial, and plan on using a bias ply tire such as an ET Street or an ET Drag.
