Default 60 ft times on 18inch Drag radials

Just a quick question. What type of 60ft times are people with the 18inch BFG Drag radials getting? Little info on the setup of the car. Stock weight SS or WS6, M6 putting down about 450 to the ground with the driver being pretty good at launching the car . Just courious.

2 flat, babied b/c of wheel hop. Redoing rear suspension w/ TA, SFC, Relos, and LCA's. Im running 295 Gforce t/a drag radials on 18/10.5. When I get everything put on and get to track, I'll update the 60ft, BTW the SS is a M6 and this 60ft was with 3:42's, Im going to 4:10's this weekend. So far Im happy with them, but mostly on the street. Wont be long and I'll have a set of 15's.

Not even close to the same set up but on my 18" BFG DR's i managed a best of 1.88 last year. IMO they have a TON left in them as they were dead hooking. This was done on a STOCK 4l60-e with STOCK torque converter so i was leaving at only 2000 and the stock TC doesnt hit hard at all. Still managed a 1.88 and they hook great on the street. This year i will be stalled so i will be able to see how much these things will hold! Im very happy and impressed with them so-far

Never noticed any differnce in times when I put them on. 60ft times stayed the same. Stock and with an auto so you know why they didn't help.

I was able to pull 1.90 even on mine with a 3200 stall. My tires are completely wrong for drag racing (Michelin Pilot sports) since they are intended for auto-x. But figured I'd try it once.

I was able to manage a 1.86 60' on my 295/35 18 BFG DRs. My car makes ~400ish rwhp and is a M6.
