What power level are need for a c5 corvette to achive this with Nitto DR's or BFG DR... Which tire would be better for 1/4 runs and aggressive street driving.. Can any of these DR make it safely to 140-160 or more????

Thanks

 

get u some m/t drag radials

 

Both tires are Z-rated and can handle 150+, I'd say 160s are safe. BFGs are stickier, but Nittos last longer. If you don't care about how long they last, look into the MT drag radials. I'll be running 315/35R17 BFGs next year on the street, and an MT ET Street at the track.

My car made 420rwhp on the dyno with the cutout close. Cutout open, I ran a 12.3@118 with a 2.0 60'. Drop that 60' to a 1.6 and add 3.73 gears, and my car is good for mid 11s. Hope to be low 11s with a ported FAST intake next season, should be 460ish RWHP.

Dyno numbers don't mean everything though, depends on the dyno and power under the curve and overall car setup.

 

dont want mt dr.... they start to break things..... so, these other dr and sounds like 40-60 hp more...

 

to get a stick car like yours in the 11.2-10.9 range i think you'd need a trap speed between 126 and 130. your 60' won't be hellacious without a good tire/susp. setup. and with you sitting on the stock irs and lacking a tire equal to or greater than the m/t DR, i doubt you'd see 11.2 with less.

get your trap speed up to ~130, this should answer your question.

 

And expect to break things

 

Go to Golenengine web site. They have drag racing calculators you can use for free.

 

I tried the BFG drag radials on my Z06 and just could not get them to hook very well. The best time I could run with them with about 525rwhp was 11.50 @ 126. This was at a track that does not prep their track well for test and tunes.

I switch to the MT ET Streets 26x 10 and hit the low 11's. I would recommend a tire with a tall sidewall that will absorb some shock from the driveline and give you good traction off the line.

I run my drag radials on the street and the ET streets on the track.

 

You will need 500+rwhp/500+rwtq, line lock and a CCW drag pack with M/T ET street slicks. My buddy has a 2002 Z06 with a built 402. Makes 490rwhp/480rwtq and he runs 11.1-11.3 @128-129mph with this setup...
