smallest drag radial? Has anyone pulled off a 10.99 or better with a stock 16" rim with a drag radial? If so what was your weight, HP, suspension set up, what settings, and what brand tire? If you don't want your secrets out pm me.
Thanks,
Dave

A buddy of mine just ran a 10.67 and Hattiesburg, MS. He was on 17'' TT2's with MT Street Radials . Stock suspension except a torque arm and poly bushings on the stock lca's. Battery relocated to the back along with his water cooler tank for the vortech sc. Don't know the weight, but it is a stock long block TA with the stock ten bolt. Don't know the hp.........it is a stock long block with a vortech SC spraying 125 nitrous. He runs his tires really low...........like 15 lbs.

Who is he I'm in miss. too.
He is from Tupelo. He was out there on Sunday in a red WS-6. He made a 11.20 pass-No nitrous and then he sprayed in 2nd gear and ran a 10.67. He made a third pass, but the track was not hooking very well. They didn't show a 1/4 time on the third pass, but he ran 6.90 in the 1/8th.

So you did break into tens on a 255-50-15 MT radial?
If so what suspension setup are you running.

Now I might run a 275/50/15 M/T radial for better acceleration.

Just noticed, you are a automatic.
I am going to go to a 17 315 35 bfg to see if that will do it.

Props for the way you have the suspension set up on you car. Before I sold my car I used to trap 131MPH and only run 10.60's.
