Default E.T. question after drag radials

I just bought some 275/40/17 Nitto NT555R's. I was wondering if any one know what the average E.T. pick-up is at the drag way? Thanks!

Impossible for anyone to guess without knowing what kind of launch issues you were having previously.

A manual car will pick up a lot more unless you're an auto with a higher stall converter.

You'll get anywhere from .1-.6 improvement.

My C6 didn't pick up much on drag radials (still on stock converter), but it's a lot more consistant now.

Depending on your 60' times before you put those on.

My 60 foot were a best 1.98. I did spin sometime at the track, depending on the day. I am still on a stock stall. I am launching at around 1300 RPM.
