Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? While I can't compare the two I can say that my Hoosier QTP's hook awesome! First time with them I tried launching at 6000 rpm and the bogged. Then did a 6500 rpm clutch dump and just went with no tire spin that I could tell from inside the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

What size do you run and what were your 60 fts on them and 1/4 mile times.
Thanks
Jeremy

Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? My 27x11.5x15's have held up great so far N/A...going to see how they are with the new addition of the supercharger, as soon as the roads clear up out here...

Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? They hooked about the same for me. Good enough for 1.49 60ft's. My best with the Drags is only 1.47 I think but I've only used them at a decent track once. I have my old set if you want 26's. I was holding onto them to see if I liked the 28's, but I'm running 4.30's now so I HAVE to run more tire. Both are much better than the 26X10.5 ET streets I had though.

Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? How much Scott? I want them for the Spring Shootout event in 13 days! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I need to order some 15x10" rims too.
My email is terencevV@aol.com. I might be going back to a heads/cam setup soon just to play around. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? Terry, not to bust your thread but i am looking for some drag slicks as well, i would like them for my `15X10's if i can. Scott if Terry doesn't pick up your used slicks let me know. I check my emails daily or call me at 806-353-0803 office.

Re: How do QTP's hook vs. regular hoosiers? Well I thought I had the QTP's still, but they're the full slick. Probably 75% tread left, I just have to run something bigger.
I don't know if you need the street legal tire or not Terry, let me know. Otherwise Eric I'll give you a shot at them.
I'm working on my new heads now. I'm probably up 20+ cfm from .400 & up from what's on my car now. I'm at 295@.600, 238@.600 was stock. That's with the stock valvejob and haven't played around with best cuts on the valve yet. I'll probably be running a 232 XER single or maybe a 232/228 or so. Just depends what I can fit. What has MMS tried as far as a 232 goes? I know Derek ran one for a while, but don't know what the lobe sep. was etc. I'll run a 111/112, that 114 just pushes the band up too high.
What are your plans?

I have a 110-111 LS camshaft now and I hate it, the power band is too low. I'm planning on switching back to a 114ls camshaft, probably something close to what I ran before. I want to try out their new stage 2 heads and a direct port NX kit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
