anyone here running a full weight, stalled auto car, on a drag radial WITH a stock torque arm, lca's, shocks/springs....etc. ????

what are your set-ups and 60' times???

thanks.

 

anyone have any experience w/ this???

 

a good friend of mine had 100% OEM stock suspension, boltons, and a set of 26" et streets on stock TA wheels at stock weight going 11.20 on a 100 shot pulling 1.49 60' - he eventually bent his tq arm.

 

wow... well i'll be using drag radials, and 60's probably in the low 1.6's.... and probably will be low 12's so hopefully i wont bend mine.

so hooking it can work...........? thanks for the reply hopefully i'll be able to hook it up.

 

good converter, enough torque, and a good drag tire and you will hammer out of the hole.

 

stock motor, 3600, bfg on stock rim, 3.23 gear

i'll remove my front swaybar, i might have to go to a m.t. drag radial.

 

You have seen how both of my LS1s moved on the MT drag radial. Why do you think I recommend them to all of the local guys? I will put a 275/50/15 against a 26x10x15 ET Drag any day. I always ran faster on the DR

 

i run more consistantly on a 28x10.50 ET drag than a 275/60 drag radial any day of the week.

 

i pull 1.48's with only a bigger rear sway bar and slicks! the best on drag radials was 1.55 on all stock suspension and bfg drag rdaials!

 

I was getting 1.7, 60 foot times on my stock shocks/springs all I had was a 2800 stall. 255 DR

 

IMO, you can't compare MT Drag Radials to any other DR. They are that much better.

 

i'm just working with what i got here matt. i bought the car w/ 245/50/16 BFG drag radials.

i'm just trying to see if i have hope of hooking this thing w/ out poppin' for new tires.

 

3500 stall with 2.5 STR here. 3.23's, 100% stock suspension and the rest of my mods are in my sig. Tires are M/T street radials 255/50/16 on the stock rims.

My 60's range from 1.69 to 1.80 with 1.71-1.74 being about average. I run 19-21 psi in the M/T's, do a five second burnout and I almost always dead hook. My best results are from reving between 2000 and 2500 rpm's and flooring it. But I have also had good success just flashing off idle. But I only do this towards the end of the night when my gas tank and air temps get low enough that I stopped dead hooking.

 

thanks for the info guys!

 

I went 1.68 60' with stock parts, 2800 stall, drag radials

 

I went 1.47 60ft with stock:
TA
rear swaybar
rear shocks
rear panhard
rear shocks

aftermarket:
LCA
12bolt spool 3.73
front shocks
front springs
!frnt swaybar

The TA was ok untill I started getting into the 1.4x 60fts

 

^^^ sweet!

 

I just noticed you said full weight. Mine was not full weight though.

 

which bfgs? what size?

 

we broke MULTIPLE stock torque arms with the setup you are describing back in the day. bolt on and cam only cars with converter and a tire and nothing else.
