I have a Camaro SS with heads,MS3 cam, 3800 stall,12-bolt with 3.73s on a 150 hp+ plate kit. I have upgraded suspension under the car. Car is full weight and the tires are nitto 315/35-17. Any thoughts.

Who knows? The Nittos are the poorest choice as far as drag radials go. It's not a bad choice, it just has its limits. Especially with the short sidewall.

Probably not with stock suspension

Car is not stock suspension. I have boxed lca's, lca relocation brackets, spohn 1inch chomemoly sway-bar, UMI adjustable torque-arm, Hotchkis adjustable panhard bar, and subframe connectors

i think it is totally possible on nittos! 245/50/16s in action.
10.73@128 w/1.46 60' granted it is a 6 cyl and weight transfer is a bit different but this TTA had Lca's,adj.panhard and stock tq arm!

I cant see it.You are full weight with nittos.Heck I had those same tires same size and everything when my car was bolton(285 rwhp) and I blew the tires off evey time they just cant hold power.Get a set of drag rims and et drags and just swap at the track

^^^Thats funny because my Nittos hook like glue. 315/35/17's. Rear wheels horses in sig. Never had a problem with mine

And check out the TTA lifting a tire on those 16's! Awesome! Nice pic, im saving that one

the way i see it a bunch of people think you have to have a wide tire to get traction,that is the biggest misconception!
NITTOs @ 20-24 psi
89 TTA 245/50/16 10.73 @128 1.46 60'(trans-brake 2004r/3600) 18psi-boost

Most definately! Back in Nov '04 I ran my previous car which was cam only(225/225) with a 100 dry shot, 3500 stall with all stock suspension to an 11.20 @120.xx on Nittos. The 60ft was 1.64.

You have suspension mods, a bigger cam, heads, more gear, more verter, and more juice, I don't see how you wouldn't run well into the 10s. Good luck!

If the Nittos can do it, it'll take good suspension mods and a healthy dose of VHT on 'em.

What did you set your tire pressure too and what rpm did you stall too.

I bet its possible if the track you run at is prepped real good.

Well my buddy had some new M/T 315/35-17's sitting at his work, he was going to put them on his car but I talked him out of them. So I should hopefully hook with them.

I've heard a couple people say this, then I hear a couple more say they've gotten 1.6-1.7ft times with them...idk who to believe...

I did it with cut stock springs, and BMR relocation brackets, not really suspension mods imo. Oh, and this was also in Nov, and it was pretty chilly out.

Just play with them, but always use as much pressure as you can while still hooking like you want/expect. I've personally ran the Nittos as low as 16 psi hot at the track. This pass was back in nov of 04, so I honestly don't remember what they were at. Most likely 16-18 hot. I usually brake stalled it as high as I could with the SSF 3500, which was about 2500 or so IIRC, before the tires would start to spin.

I 60fted 1.64 on Nittos in nov, it can be done.
