best et on "Street" tires
This I mean no street type drs. My best was 11.45 at 124mph on dunlop sp5000s. Just wondering what everybodys pulling on street tires. Just incase I get into a street race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . Im also going to try and run 10s on street tires next yr <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hey Todd, it looks like we would have a close race on normal street tires from a stop. The extra 2 mph I'm seeing would only show up if we raced from a roll.
Gotta love low/mid 11s in full street trim (3700 lbs for me) on non-drag tires. Good job!

Re: best et on "Street" tires
Best on some $40 apiece....Idunno anymore, they're so old. In Feb. this year I used them anyway and they're regular junky 245/60/15's. Ran 11.252@126.03mph with a 1.83 short time. I was tempted to try a nitrous pass but... I got skeeered! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It dawned on me that I never remember the right width but anyway.. They have "FORMULA GT" written in about 2" letters. That's as much as I can get for brands. For what it's worth, they're a REAL hard compound I bought for rain driving here in FL. His truck ain't as quick with them as my car was... hehehe <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
