Trap speed/tire size Question with spray

Hey I'm currently trapping 118mph with 383whp and I'm going to be spraying a 150 shot.. what kind of traps should I expect with the spray? Need to pick the right size slick. Thanks

I trapped 118 on motor with 26" tires. Went to 28" and 150shot and trapped 129. I've only done one pass so I don't know if that number might be a little higher next time.

Are you an M6? How high were you revving through the traps?

You could easily trap another 10mph faster, like 128 or more, so you'd have to see if your combo can support that, and the rpms you will be running.

Cool, I think that just about does it. Thanks for the responses.

The 4.10 and 28" combo worked out perfect to where I finished the quarter mile in the top of 4th gear.

Yeah that's what I'm going for. I shifted to 5th once to keep the revs down for one of my runs and I ran like a 12.2 @ 114 lol. That extra gear kills it.
