Default 30" tires now working on my LSX Drag Radial Vette

So we went out yesterday at Norwalk and tested the 30" tires.

They cleared and they hook!

We can now leave on 7lbs of boost without spinning and the car was running like a bracket car yestereday.

we weren't going for broke, but the car went

8.02@181
7.99@182
7.98@182

Putting the new All pro 4500 cast intake, Todd Berry Elbow, and accufab 105mm TB on the car this week and hope to be out testing again next weekend.

What is your best 60' on them?

I have some hoosier DOT radials 275/40/17 and no matter what I do, I cannot get better than a 1.8 60' on them. I put my ET drags on and I can get 1.5's or better though. It probably has to do with my crappy semi trailing arm setup.

The lowest pressure you run DR's at is like 20psi right? Otherwise the tread cups in the middle?

I've run 1.27 on the 28" tall ones, but so far only 1.36 on the 30" tires. The 30" tires really kill the stock 3.42 gear with a 210 first gear.

After testing with the new intake we may up the first gear if the 60' times don't drop back below 1.30

Jesus man I have 31x10.50/15 on my grand cherokee lifted 2" to make them clear, they will clear on stock lift but they will rub at lock.

That's insane, any plans to bring the boost up to overcome the tire bringing the gear down so much? Your only option is that 3.42 right? Is that a Quafie diff?

Yeah we are going to push the boost till they spin and see what that gets us....

It is a Quafie and 3.42 is the only option.

With a 427", you should be able to get it worked out with 2.10/3.42 combo. Keep at it, consistent numbers are going to be what your shooting for....

FWIW, all of the cars I consult with are on 3.50s or 3.40s, 1.80 low gear and a 30" tire.

I believe you are correct... we will be working on it more this weekend. You do have to remember that my car with me in it is 3600lbs.

We will be turning up the launch boost and hopefully the 60' will come around.
