The Next Level - Improving Drag Times - Ideas

[ZSHO]

I just can't put my foot on it  but with the Continental-DW had a best 1.72 60' when compared to Dunlops sports 1.84 60' best! Both are summer tires with 5lb weight difference per wheel as mentioned earlier!
Great overall Discussion folks. Z

Hammer down Z! You got the 60 foot and the power that thing will run 11’s.

I appreciate the kind words bud! Congrats with the newborn and best of heath and happiness. Z

While I don't have a lot to add to the topic that hasn't already been said. Just want to throw my set up out there that has netted me multiple 1.67 60'

275/40r20 Nitto NT555R Front 20PSI
275/40r20 Hankook Ventus ST All season Rear 36-40psi

Want to emphasize a little more on the FWD bias is so insane that I air up the tires to reduce rolling friction down the strip. These cars hate being over launched, but that could be a personal experience also. Happy medium for me has always been 2000rpm anymore and she just doesn't perform as well out the hole and any less... Well I haven't tried. Probably should eh?

Edit: Also that when I was running the Ventus ST on all 4 wheels my best 60' was a 1.72 so the radials has helped, but that could also be attributed to some other modifications/weight reduction also.

Aww I thought they were 40 tires but they're 45?

You're right they are 275/40. Mistaken on that.
