Best I could do last weekend was a 2.1x but most of the runs were 2.2x - 2.3x. I need more practice, lot's more practice. This was on a 1.5" lowered stiff sprung car.

I managed 1.820 with set of firestone wideovals. I've had countless 1.8xx - 1.9xx with the street radials. But even with a good short time with street radials, I'm still losing lot of ET due to spinning all the way up to 3rd gear.

Low 1.7's with a 3600 stall , stock F1 tires and a 100 shot (wet).
11.95 @115.
I was very please with those times,3 back to back, runs and kept getting slightly better 60 ft's till the 11.95 run and called it quits before getting the boot for no roll bar.

That's awesome on those crappy stock F1s. BTW, unless you made this pass 2 years ago, they only require a cage for cars faster than 11.5 now.

I ran 34 psi (hot) and had a 2.1, then lowered it to 20 psi and had a 2.3 followed by a 2.4. Brought the pressure back up to 30 and ran a 2.0. It seems that street radial hook better on a more "normal" air pressure.

I was thinking that the stiff sidewalls on your typical high performance street tire don't collapse enough to create a larger contact patch with lower pressure, but might even make it worse.
