I’ll be content with high 13s. 215/40/16 street tires FTL. And I’ve drag raced once before in my life. So I’m sure I’ll wind up with a 17 and a large towing bill. But I’m down for a track rental (as long as it’s before July).

> I would usually bring them down to about 18ish psi so this could be it. Also how do you feel about tubes? You think they would help my situation. Right now I am thinking of going with the 28x10.5 hoosier or et drag slick in stiff sidewall no tube. Im just going full slick since it is 6-sp and im going to make a few runs at the 9’s at the end of the season i think.
18 is plenty of air, I shouldn;t say there is no sway to them, but it’s manageable. No tubes, if ur hook’in, you will see them slide on the rim an inch or two at a time, I’ve never been able to break the bead yet. The 10.5 number represents sec width-actual tread width is about 9", I run the 11.5 sec width- actual tread width is a hair under 10". Just need to massage the front inner fenderwell’s w/a BMF Hammer:lolham:

Yeah, I learned my lesson, I am probably going to end up selling and buying some ET drags or QTPs.

I don’t really drag race so I’m thinking in the 13’s. If I could get traction and my wastegate didn’t suck I might be in the 12’s. I’ll hit 19psi then it will slowly go down to 12.
Its a pretty big jump for me since that last time at nyi running 15.4’s
I doubt I’ll even make it out to a 1/4mile strip.

High 10s is boots, leather or textile pants and jacket, gloves and a full face helmet.

At what point do you need a helmet in a car? I don’t even have one of those.

14+ all that armor doesn’t help very much 😉
next year i’ll be in to hit 10’s then call it quits and become a responsible adult 🙂
already working on a parts list
