3" chromoly steel ds, and 12 bolt moser.
ive removed the jack and spare, and added a speakerbox in the trunk.

I don't have a graph yet, but that is estimating it from very similar setups..and from some tech's here and there..

The suspension will leave wheels up on the slicks with a 200 shot so even thow i don't have $1000 in the suspension I would say it is working. No wheel hop at all. If only changing the tires makes that type of difference I will run the slicks. So keep yor band-aiding comments to yourself. If you have suggestons you can say it a little differently.
This post was about slicks and I said what I ran. Plain and simple.

Ultimately, it's your car. Do what makes you happiest. If throwing steam rollers under the car is the best soloution in your mind, then by all means, do it. Personally, I'd rather maximize my combo and not leave a single tenth on the table.

i agree with you bird of prey, i think some big slicks would definitely help. but i think theres some other tweaking to be done first. the last time i checked the pinion angle was when i put my took my 19s off several weeks ago. i set it at -2 according to the angle of the driveshaft to the angle of the bottom of the rear end housing, would that be the right angle?

I used to run 28x10.5W ET Drags but recently with my new engine combo yet to be tested have swapped to a 325/50/15 MT Drag Radial.... I expect mid 1.3 60 foot times and low 9 to high 8 second quarters with no traction issues...
It's all in your suspension setup and having the car scaled.... Suspensions are finicky and if all you **** isn't setup by someone who knows what they are doing you will never hook....

Stock suspension.
This sounds like a "I spun my tires @ xx mph" e-**** fest

seems like a few guys on this forumn seem to think its kool that they can spin their tires at 70 mph..and flaunt it....sounds like bs to me...exspecially on a d/r or slick...i mean ive seen 1500+ rwhp turbo cars hook from 40 on bfg d/r so i doubt these 400 hp cars are spinning that bad unless they are revving it p and dumping the clutch
in that case my 250rwhp daily spins from 60 roll
