    first time ever at the strip, ran 15.2 with a 2.1 60 ft and 90 mph trap. that trap has me a little confused, i would think that it should be higher.

    on a side note it was a good night because i ran against my bro-in-laws spec-v and roasted him. he ran 16.4. he was crying like a little baby

    It should be higher but it is a heavy convertible. What mods do you have?

    it was in the low 70's so the temp was not a factor

    am i correct in thinking that your r/t does not affect your e/t?

    your et is from the moment your tire brakes the stage beam to the time it hits the beam at the other end of the track

    I think you had a missprint there, if your doing 12.9x in the quarter there is NO WAY your trap is only 89MPH.......unless you hit the brakes at the top of the track :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh:

    The standard Nitto 555 Extremes are just a nice street tire, they do make a drag radial however, but that's a little drastic for your vert situation, you need a few more mods before that kind of traction becomes a necessity.
