Default M/T ET Street Radial Pro = Mini Wheelie!!

My lil daily driven bolt on LS1 lifted the front tire off the ground! I wanna go back to the track soon to shoot for the low 12s-high 11s! Only made 4 passes that night & haven't had to much seat time at the track so I wanna work on some different launching techniques so it doesn't bog. But if anyone is considering this tire Id say do it without a doubt. Sucks that its only a 28" tire but still didn't spin at all & hooks like no other! & kind of funny with the looks I get & how random *** people just come up to my tire & touch it...

Idk, for a mini wheelie that's a terrible 60ft time. You need a little more clutch slip off the line, that bog is killing you. With a 6spd I would've gone something other then 3.89 gears and a 28in tall tire. At least 4.11's.

Yea I had it revved from 5 half to almost 6k & just dropped it. Going to slip the clutch next time. & I plan on going with 4.11s also

I'd go to 4.30 from 3.89 or even 4.56's. Not sure what ford has for ratios. Even on the street with 26in street tires w/ 4.56's and a 6spd you can cruise in comfort at 75mph turning 2200 rpms.... In comparison my a4 w/ 4.11's spins 2600rpms at 65ish mph and it isn't really that bad then its not a DD

Yep, definitely need to slip the clutch off the line with that tire/gear setup. Looks like your car is ready for some more power!

Why not 4.30's.... .? You'll have plenty rpm on the top end w/ nice set of heads and a cam

4.30s and a 28" tire would be fine. I have a set of 4.30s for cheap if you want them.

I don't know I just figured going with 4.30s compared to 4.11s I would run out of gear when using the bottle

Haha are they competition gears? Right now I got the 3.89 35 spline from Moser. I wanna either get the 4.11s 35 spline or 4.29 35 spline
