What is your best time in the 1/4 with STREET tires==not drag radials? What can you expect to run with real street tires? Stock motor with bolt ons with stock convertor and 3.23 gears with a little spray.

Thanks

Why would you run a car on spray with street tires??? Your times will not be consistant because you won't be able to hook.

I run 12.40 to 12.50 with my mods and the biggest help was the FTI stall. shaved about
6 tenths off my times.

It was Hot and Humid as Hell also. The 60fts were not that good LOL 2.20-2.30 spinnnnin on the motor. I think she had a 40 in her on street tires. Is that quick or do I have more work to do.

A better 60 ft with real tires ( D/R's or slicks ) You will be in the 11's 2.2 -2.3 is not a very good 60ft . Even if you only drop .3 tenths on your 60 ft ,youre looking at a 11.8 or so ,,easily

Get a 3600 stall and use your DRs.....you should be in the high 11s. I'd also start buying some suspension mods to help lower your 60'.

My lid/catback Formula was pretty consistent 11.60-70 spraying 150 on stock 16 inch Eagle GS-C's. Obviously, you couldn't spray it out of the hole, but just past the 60', I'd let it eat.
