Default Adding 9" with 4.10's. What 60' to shoot for?

Just wondering what 60' and ET's to shoot for with a Fab 9 and 4.10's with detroit locker. Still need to decide on DR's and a clutch. Mods are normal boltons. Kooks LT's, cats, LM2, blackwing, lowered on hotchkis 1". Im thinking about getting BFG's. My best was below on street tires and 10 bolt.

Thanks,
Erik

Not a DD. Occasional track runs and weekend drives.

Why not go with M/T DR's. They hook the best out of any DR i've seen so far. With a good clutch i don't see why you can't go low 1.60's easily. Only thing holding you back is your power output (or lack thereof). You'll have to be launching higher in the RPM's so it doesn't bog.

I'll be in the same boat as you soon. I'm planning on getting a 9" right before the summer. I already have all the other stuff installed. Then I will have to decide on how i'm going to make enough power to use it all. Same as you LOL.

They most certainly do. Here's the link. It's the ET Street Radial at the top.

Thanks guys. What kinda mileage are you gettin out of the MT's? How much are they? And DJ I wouldnt be able to sleep at night if I spent the money on a head/cam combo knowing the rear could blow at any time. So I bit the bullet.

Well that's why i said low 1.6's easily. He can still do a lot of sups. tweaking and get lower times. It also depends on what clutch he goes with and how much power he's putting down off the line. Sure with H/C/ or n20 he can go 1.4's. But not as he sits now.

Milage? Maybe 5K+.

Price? $189 from Jegs.

I say 1.58-1.63 would be good for your power level and with a 17 inch rim.Get the MT`s they are much better than the bfg`s.
