Default went to the track

Well i went to the track last night temp was 68 W/ some humidty not to bad though. Times were 13.0 1/4 2.182 60's 5.776 1/8 and trap speed was 111.48 this is on bald BFG KD's 275/40/17 mods are in my sig. I would launch at about 1800 rpm then spin through 3rd. I also tried letting off alittle but as soon as i got back into it the tires would just spin. SO whatcha think? I'm ordering nittos DR's today and hope this will help alot.Winter project is the 12 bolt & ET streets but for now it's gonna be nittos. How much do you think they will help?? thanks

Whew...that makes more sense.

For having a cam and drag radials (even bald ones), I would NOT be happy if I were you. You have way too many mods to still be in the 13's. Your mph seems pretty low too. What does your car dyno at?

last time i dynoed it was 360 rwhp & 366 tq but that was with bad knock sensors and bosch +4 plugs and a few mods ago so i would have to say prob about 380 now. Also i raced on bald BFG kd's not drag radials and i think the g force kd's have an extremly hard side wall {great tire for road racing} but crappy at the drags. I just through 3rd and a couple of times into 4th

I had a similar experience, running the same times you did with F1's. Definately get the DR's. They offer a dramatic improvement in traction.

Ya, you definitely need some tires. You should be running low to mid 12's with that kind of power.
