[QUOTE="69b302, post: 16628335, member: 52691"] The Mickey Thompson DR(305/35/18) are what I have run for a while and they do Ok at the track. I usually hit 1.7s no problem, and have gotten down to the 1.5s on the Mickeys. I go pretty low on pressure ~13 psi. The launch is all about blending the weight transfer and throttle. I would start with soft launches at 2k and see how it goes from there. You can not launch that hard with these cars, if your suspension is not specially set for 1/4 mile launches. The 305s need at least a 10" wide wheel to ensure a good tread contact patch. A good drag strip will also have a very sticky track, so you should hook much better then on the typical road, so street practice is not that useful. Mark your rear tires with a sharpie at the valve stems to see if they slip on the rims. I don't even balance my rear tire anymore, since they always slip on the rims. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
