I'm cutting 1.7s 60fts on NITTOS with a lowered 6speed. Most people say they cant do **** with nittos, I dont have that problem. And if I got a 1.6 with a lowered 6speed I'd jump for joy. Damn right I'm happy with my 1.7s, better than 100s of others out there.

I also cut 1.7s on nittos with my prior trans-am a 98 auto with 273 gears.


I'm just trying to figure out why you are trying to compare the 60ft of a 4000stall car to a lowered 6speed car.

 

Be a leader, not a follower!

 

we should just let big nuts marc with his 200 shot lead the way

 

nah, he needs to do a 250-300 shot, then i'll follow.

 

I'm still running the stock rear W/T 3.73's in my car. My car runs 7.20's 1/8 mile @ 98-99 mph. I leave at 4000 rpm on 26-11.5 16 ET streets. Usually cut a low 1.6 60 ft. Drag radials will break it before slicks will. My brother broke 2 10 bolts with Nitto's.

 

your cousin auto or manual

 

think you're right marc should do the 250- 300shot

 

Im gunna hold you to that We will see how the car does come spring then there might be a big shot going on

 

i'll believe it when i see it.

 

same here marc

 

Do you remember where the conversation started? You said there is nothing wrong with Nittos.......and there's not if you want to stay in the 1.7 60' range. Do you think you would pull the same 60' times if you were running a pair of ET Streets, or ET Street Radials, or ET Drags? My original point here was that Nittos are not track tires. Will they hook better than regular street tires? Of course. MOST people are not going to be able to "hook" on these tires though.

And you are correct, a stalled auto car will normally own a 6 speed car at the track, assuming same power levels.

 

<------10 bolt still

 

do you have a TA girdle/stud kit?hows your suspension?
thanks

Those times in your sig are weak for a 396

 

Just spray it and worry about the rear if it breaks!

 

james
have you decided if your going wet or dry yet?Ive been leaning towards dry,but not 100% yet

 

I'm leaning back towards wet so I can go cheap and not buy new injectors.

I already have everything I need to go wet, if I go dry I'll need 42# injectors at least and that would add another $400 on top of what I already spent. Even if I wanted to get fancy, I could get a 2 stage plate and extra noids and it would still probably be less than new injectors.

 

10.79@123 1.53 60'

stock 10 bolt with 3.73 and a 4L60E 175 shot out of the hole on ET Streets.

 

You need new injectors any way even if you go wet you should still at least get some 30#

 

That's debateable. Sure, I'm running in the 90's on % duty cycle but she's been that way for years.

Edit: Besides, if I have to spend much more, this thing will NEVER leave the garage and we can't have that can we?
