Screws and Slicks. After what 60 foot times will it be a good idea to screw your slicks? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Screws and Slicks. i would guess around 1.39 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
you are pulling some high mph if you are trapping like that, you kinda wanna keep the tire on the rim at those speeds <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Screws and Slicks. I think screws are a good safety feature. 60ft times are only part of it. If you drop your pressure down to 14 psi or less, screws can save you alot of trouble. I put mine on when I first went to slicks. They are a cheap investment, and good insurance that you wont have a problem.

Re: Screws and Slicks. I agree with Fast SS on NOS totally!
I always have had screws in my slicks, one of the many things that I learned growing up with my Pops racing.

Re: Screws and Slicks. I would use screws if you plan to run the tires at 10psi.
Keep in mind that the car will sway like crazy and generally feel unsafe at that low of a psi.
I run 14-15psi with ET Streets and do not use screws anymore.
