Ughh I bet running tires with a such a small sidewall really hurts a lot of the technology that goes into drag radials…
I know a lot of the design for DRs is compound and sidewalls.
lol that yet another (in an endless string of) dig on Joelster and Badazz?
these look pretty nasty! 390/40R17
wonder what rims those fit on
no dig on anyone, LT1’s just blow ass when you consider that there are plenty of low priced Ls1 cars around. With that being said, an LT1 would be such a fun beater.
I know when I looked at them they have some pretty odd sizes
idk but you should find some… Tubs are in… MAN UP!
Meh I will probably try and find a high mileage LS1 z28/Formula and work towards a 10sec stock internals car…I just wish I had more time outside of work…
I myself used to have a 93 Z28, it was fun and I actually took out 95% of the cars I came across DD’ing it
but I hear ya , for example my new Formy , dyno’d 332/352 and less than 6k
people need to start pricing Lt1 fbods in the 2-3k range and stop trying to get 4-6k out of them

BONER
I guess everything is bigger in Texas
I saw that car at the shootout, Perimer auto looks really good. Checkout the IPS atomic orange or whatever c6 zo6. Twin turbo th400 went like 9.30s on Drs looked like a 11sec setup. Think it got a 1.4 on the 18 Drs. 325?
It was really badass. Think it got booted before finishing all 3 true street runs.
jt, you gonna be driving this on the highway at 70+mph in the summer? If you need them to be a normal tire then your gona have to stick with a Nitto and under. I noticed the real killer in mileage of the softer bfg/MT Drs, Is they get up to “race temp” at those speeds on summer days, get all soft and start to feather and scuff like a mofo. I had softer bais ply 16x10.5 Etstreets and QTPs on the gtp and drove them around a lot on rural streets. Or just 10 miles on the X90 at night and there were fine keeping them cooler. But I’ve had 275 MT/BFG on Fbodys and noticed alot of wear just going 40-50 miles at 75mph on a summer day. You can even hear the MT/BFG sticking after then get warmed up on the highway under a bridge with the t tops out. At that point just get a slick, and change them if your gonna drive like that with a bfg/MT.
I really like my yocohammamamama EVS1000s. In the sun then hook in 2nd rolls, just me and a empty tank. And I was getting 1.7s on them at the streetcar shootout. Mostly get 1.85 1.91s tho. Then 3055s ETdrags for the wheelies 
Gotcha. Sarcasm doesn’t come across well on the internet 
the nittos were good on the street id go w/ those i got the 315/35 r17 but i have a 10.5" wheel out back also they held up pretty good even w/ my john force burnouts
but i think you hooked better on teh street with the nittos bec of your IRS. I think ppl with solids and ur HP range have less luck with them on the street
4 pages late but:
there’s no radial you can drive on a true DD basis and have it last the whole summer…they are just too soft.
ur best bet is a nice set of max perf. summer tires, and a spare set of wheels w/ some et streets or whatever…and just hope u dont run into some homo that needs a smoking when ur rolling on the summer tires.
not really if i stomp on it in first from a roll i wheel hop,if jim put up the vid from our last run from inside my car, he spun and i hopped so we both had to get out of it
bfg’s are the suck…i don’t get traction unless i pedal it or do a high mph punch. i’m going to try hoosiers next i think
