Sometimes you just have get out there and try some things for yourself.
There are a lot of very nice quick street cars on this site and nothing wrong with a little competition. I really enjoy seeing cars like Mightymouse, cablebandit, Hunterss, Tiago, Speed Inc's shop car, yourself and many more run great ETs with some highly detailed daily driver capable cars. Mine isnt even in the same category, its a single purpose car where you guys are true dual purpose cars and that takes a lot of work and dedication to get something like that down the track AND cruise it around in reasonable comfort.
I hate you turbo guys sometimes

Yeah I raced at Bristol in 2000, went from 11.7's at GLD to 12.4's at Bristol with that lovely 5500 DA we had that weekend.
You are making some big power, figuring in your raceweight (38xx right?), the DA, and that grade.
Bring that show car to Memphis.

Front shot from the 1.37 sixty on the radials. Picture of a track guy picture so the angle is wacked. The fronts are Michelin 16" radials on a Road Race wheel from Bogart. Rears are the 325 MT drag radials on a 15" Road Race wheel.

Race weight, lca angle, shock settings, etc will effect what tire psi the car wants...at least it does on mine.
