I know it's been said 26" tires aren't good for drag racing but I'll be doing a lot of rolls for the sake of my transmission so maybe they will be fine?

 

A radial for traction is a great idea. I would just get something that isn't 26" tall and 10.5" wide

 

Counteract the height with a 445

 

Would it be the same thing to get the big tires and 4.45 or keep 4.05 and get smaller tires? If it would be I'd be doing less work to just get smaller tires. Or I could sell spare trans, get 4.45's put in and smaller tires. So many options

 

4.45 with 26" tires would still be shorter than 4.05 with the normal 24.5", and it would still be stronger. Moral of the story, get the 4.45 lol

 

You start it or was that an old video?

 

That was an old video. I'm still waiting on my turbo manifold to get back from being milled. I'm debating on getting a new copper gasket to ensure a nice seal. Back in indy now so no progress on the car will be made for weeks.

 

Got my new tires yo

 

 

Cliffnotes pls

 

Turbo manifold is off getting milled, I'm off vacation and back at school (3hrs away from car) Next time I go back home I will do the ATI, ARP timing bolts and fuel system maybe a pcv set up. Trying to decide what tires to run. In the mean time, bored at school trying to gather more money so I can pass time by ordering parts

 

Hey nick what are the chances of me borrowing your valvespring compressor next month

Nitto 555r

 

Sure. And I've heard those aren't sticky enough

 

Hoosier dot? I got two and they are technically street legal... if those dont stick idk what will lol

 

Why you sellin? And that big turbo lnf that is always on bad Bowie productions putting down 460hp said he spun Hoosiers from a roll. ..

 

Dropping the clutch on a tq spike doesn't count...

 

Didnt say i was selling... kind of want to though since im scared of breaking **** lol

Yeah dude... youre gonna spin no matter what you got

For instance check this out lol (ps we need to do fenders like this!)

 

lol

nothing will hook unless you setup the chassis and dot radials are not street legal due to their reduced tread depth

listen you need to quit whining and worrying over traction you have not even made 600hp yet and there is no guarantee that you will make 600hp so that bee the case you need to worry about chassis setup more then tires because no matter what you put under it unless the chassis is doing its job then the tires have less of chance to work

watch the video close you may learn something from the honda

 

It is in the chassis and suspension as much as the tires are, true. A good 90s fbody can lose a fat second or so in the 1/4 from good suspension tweaks alone

Thanks for telling me john, good thing i hadnt decided to run mine on the street.. not that i would anyway, they will do nothing but chuck rocks everywhere

 

I run mine on the street just not on the rain and at enough pressure

 

How bad is the debris fling

 

they don't unless you do a nasty burnout then its not much

 

Re-route your windshield washer nozzles to the inside of your fender wells and fill the tank up with some uh dat pimp juice, and hit the sprayer while doing a stanky burnout, problem solved

 

That is one of the most brilliant jerry-rigged hillwhomp ideas I've ever heard...

 

that's old old old decades old trick
