Default 60 foot on a 26in 275 tire?

OK guys my car is stock sus other then lower control arms, stock torque arm just mouthed to cross over instead instead of tail housing, and front sway bar removed. Car has stock 3.23 gear with a yank ss4k, FBO, and a cam. I'm guessing it will 60 foot in the 1.55-1.60 range. Will this thing hook on a 275-50 r15 mt drag radial or should I go with a full slick? I'd rather run a radial if I could.

My car with bolt-ons only, LCA's, and m/t 275/50 drag radials, did a 1.61 sixty foot. That was also with a yank 4k stall

You can hook a 275/40/17 down to low 1.5s all day on a decent track and that's with minimal suspension work. Mine does it all the time.

You should be fine, my car would 60' 1.59 on a 275-50 r15 mt drag radial, with sway bar still connected. The car had bolt-ons, 3600 stall, and 150hp nitrous. You will just have to find the right air pressure. I found 22psi worked best for my car. 18-20psi the tires spin and over 28psi it would spin. Your front sway bar is gone so you will have better weight transfer that mine did.

What kind of times are you running with that set up? Are you spraying right out of the hole and what rpm are you set at to activate your spray?

It ran 11.4's, yes right out of the hole. Window switch was set on at 3000 and off at 5800.

Awsome thanks for input guy's, I was away from the web for a while. But I will get them ordered and see how it does. Went ahead and got some competition engineering rear drag shocks aswell since my stock ones are pretty much shot. Hopefully with the combo I can make it work.
