Also, hard to tell in the video but does the car chirp or briefly spin going into second or third? Radials can cost you some time with a manual transmission as they "shock" the tires....do you know anyone that will let you borrow a set of bias plys? I'd put $$$ on the fact that you would be in the 11's first trip to the track on some bias plys, everything else but the 60' (which I also think has to do with you being on hard sidewalled radials) seems on point. I sold my M/T sportsman pros (26x12.50 r15 bias ply) to my buddy that were on TINY 8" s10 wheels, and he went 11.6@116 in a HEAVY ass ws6 but the 1.6 60' gave him that great start he needed. Your car has more in it man, get ahold of some bias plys.

I won't put bias plays on my car, i've seen too many people get real squirrely with em.

I'm making right around 360rwhp with the 175 shot, the stage III blower cams are killing me without a blower.

Throw some slicks on it and let it rip :thumbsup:

I could do that, the rear is built.

I went from a 1.8 60' with MT Drag Radials to a 1.66 with their slicks.

 

[OnyxCobra]

nice run man, very close.

Hmmm this is tempting, my ET Streets are about used up.

nice run man, very close.

Thank you sir

 

[Venom351R]

The ET Streets are really close to a slick but if they are used up and your looking for another tire then just throw on some true slicks and nail that 11

Yea they're almost a slick but they don't have much tread left lol.

ARe you running ET Streets or ET Street radials? ET Streets are a bias ply. You going to run into more rolling resistance with a bias ply however, it will take the hit of a 5 speed better. With you trap speed, you won't be THAT squirrely on a bias ply. My 10.80 run was with a 28x11.5 et street (NOT RADIAL) and there was zero drama.

Nice runs man, so close to hittin the 11's... I was gonna out to speed world for funday sunday, but I ended up going friday night for the street drags.

 

[Venom351R]

The squirllyness with slicks can be a bit un nerving but once your used to it and expect it then its not as bad. First few times with me I almost let off. With skinnies up front its not as bad either which is what I intend to get this winter.

They're the ET Street radials. I guess with a 115 car they wouldn't be too bad lol, especially if you probably trapped ~130 on a 10.80 run?

Let me know if you're going out again! I'm thinking about going for the next Funday Sunday on Nov. 14th, hopefully the weather will be much cooler this time.

Yea skinnies help a lot!

 

[Venom351R]

I wanted to have them for this year but it never happened. Its going to have to happen if I ever want that 11 second slip

I'm really impressed with the way your car runs, 12.5's on motor is great! I'd love a Cobra R drivetrain lol.

 

[Venom351R]

Its been a lot of work and a lot of set backs but its getting there. I think the bigger heads I have planned, the long tubes, skinnies, new tune and I should be damn close to 11's at least I hope
