MT radial limits???
What seems to be the limit of the MT radials?
I've seen some pretty quick times out of these things... But just wondering what thier limit is...

id say power is plays a massive role vs setup.... With 340-350 RWKW my car went 10.84 @ 126 a couple of years ago. On the same tyres and the same track 6 months later with another 50RWKW and it just smoked them like street tyres!
This April at the LS1 Drag Nationals I am going to have another crack with drag radials but 275/45/17's and about 550RWKW  I wonder how this will work  |

1.46 60ft is HOT!
My new engine combo is pretty crazy but not too sure on how aggressive the low down torque is going to be. But to give you an idea, with 40% throttle at 3000rpm the blower was pumping 23psi. I'm just curious as to whether or not I should start with the radials or save my money and go to full slicks straight up... But seeing that wheel stand and your 60ft times, I guess I'll wean my way onto the slicks IF I need them.

Mate that car has a live axle rear end..... Our IRS rear ends are nothing compared to this at putting down the power
 If you have 23 PSI @ 3000RPM id suggest you will have problems even with slicks!Dont ***k about with drag radials is my advice too you Quote:
