I have a set of stock 16s that I want to use at the track and I was wondering if you M6 guys are hooking with them. I put 380 to the wheels and im tired of 2.2 or worse 60 foot times. I don't want to run a full slick,so I was wondering about the M/T or the hoosiers. Thanks guys.

 

Are you still on a 10-bolt?

 

you mean et street radials?

 

I'm guessing you mean the drag radials. I make 423RWHP and I've pulled several mid 1.6xs with my best being 1.63 on the 255/50/16 MT DRs. I've lifted both front tires when launched properly. I love those tires. They're so much more stable on the second half of the track than ET streets and you could drive them to the track.

 

Its all in the suspension man. And with that RWHP you should have NO problems hooking up on a 275 40 17 tire. That is if your not looking for sub 1.6 short times. I pulled a 1.8 60 ft time with a set of BFG Comp G DR's, 275/40/17 and that was leaving easy as Im still on the 10 bolt. Im sure I could cut a 1.7 short time easy on this tire, and should be able to cut quite abit better on a 16 inch tire hence the bigger side wall.

 

Yeap still on the 10 bolt. DAMN 02 CAMARO SS, you can pull the tires with those drag radials. You sold ME. Thanks guys.

 

How do the et streets do on the road? I'm making around 575 rwhp, have all suspension done, except LCARBs, and I cant hook for crap with 29x12.5 sportsmans.

 

he probably also has some stuff done to the suspension... half of hooking is in there. DR's/slicks can only get ya so far. but yea you should be able to hook pretty well with those tires, provided the track is prepped properly. my local track does track prep LITERALLY once every other month, if we are lucky. they have been threatened to be shut down for the past several years, so they refuse to throw money at it. lol might as well be racing on a regular street w/ a timer

 

My suspension isn't anything great. I have Eibach 1"drop springs in the back, stock bilsteins, edelbrock torque arm, LCAs, and SFCs. Track prep is huge though and it takes some practice learning how to launch them properly.

 

380 to the rears on drag radials with a stock 10 bolt... Bring a trailer

 

 

Those drag radials will flat out break your ****. I cut 1.38-1.40's with mine

 

i love mine, running mid 10s with no issues, but thats with a proper suspension. i wouldnt try that **** on the hawk with the 10 bolt in there - asking for trouble!!!

 

You may hook a little better if you didnt spell Camaro wrong in your sig

 

lmfao!

 

lol didn't even notice that LOL camero=

 

D@mn...the E key and A key are not close enough to blame it on that. Umm will you guys buy the fact that my car was made in Mexico? If not I guess i'll own up to being a dumb @ss. Talk about feeling stupid, this is the 12th camaro i've owned.

 

lol its ok, but i'll buy the fact it was made in canada lol not to offend any canucks since they did build a hell of a car oh and... 12 camaros... DAMN i thought i had a lot and im only on my 3rd

 

Question: Can you put the M/T 255 50 16 all the way around on all 4's. I have the stock 16inch rims too and want to know if you can put these tires all around thanks.

 

why would you want them all the way around?? lol
