What are your 60 ft's on street tires?

[Sleeper-6]

I Went to Englishtown tonight before the rain. And was able to get a few runs in. I'm wondering what kind of 60 ft times I can expect with my little 225's. I know they don't hook worth a crap, but I'm curious to see what's possable. So far I've only been able to get 2.3-2.2 60 ft. times. Are better possable? Or am I just wasting my time?

235/60/15 BFG radial TA's.. not DRs!

1.911 and 1.919 are my best 60s

 

[FJM568]

2.08 on BFG Radial TA's not the DR...but on the stock 215/65x15 size...Only was able to do that once...

 

[TType84]

yea that was when i was stock dp..

now i cant do that, rolls out about 15 feet and then WHAM there goes traction

1.81 60 ft on 275x60x15 Pep Boys radials!

 

[CraigT]

235/60 BFG Radial

I have cut 1.93-2.05 on these.

And 2.10's on old 265's BFG's.

2.00 on bfg radial ta's bigger than stock. not bad for my first time racing, it was also smoking the tires past the tree.

I was able to pull several low 1.9s with BFG 235 radial TAs. This was with the stock turbo, THDP and exhaust unbolted. I'd come out at around 1-2lbs of boost, and floor it. The stock turbo would take off!!!

I went a 1.70 an 275/50/15 BFG TAs aire doen to 22psi with VHT traction stuff on them , that must have been magic that day because recently my 60fts have blow and that was on drag radials and MT pro steets , slicks are next !

I've got a couple mid 1.9's with a best of 1.948 out of my 235/60R15 BFG Radial T/A's, that was at Budds Creek, nice and cold with lots of VHT traction stuff or whatever they used there.

I can't launch to save my life but...

With 235/60 BFG radial TA's and A peg leg I had a best of 2.119 leaving with 3-4 psi with no air bags.

After posi and 275/60's, I went 2.052 leaving with 4psi with air bags.

Removing the front sway bar helped me lower my 60's with slicks from 1.9's to 1.7's, so I would think that the car should 60' better now with street tires than what it used to. Too bad I won't be wasting my time trying it.

 

[J Banning]

1.72 with 295/50/15 BFG Comp TA's (not the drag radials). That was NOT on my current combo, it was with PT51, stock IC, stock heads, Precision 9.5 convertor.

For what it's worth, I did 2.163 on original factory tires full inflation. That was with almost no boost. With boost, they just spin.

Those arn't radials buddy. Doesn't take a genius to cut good short times on E/T Streets

I cut a 1.7x in my old mustang with a few mods (MM grip-in-a-box kit, 8-pound s-trim, open headers) on 315/35/17 nitto 555R's. Not a true long life street radial, but it's not like a 15" DR or anything.

275-60-15 radial TA's @ 20psi, 3.08 peg leg, off idle & not all the way to the floor launch = 2.000
