New PB on street tires

[alexs93lx]

Went to the track in April and made a few passes before getting a set of Welds/Mickeys. On stock sized BFG KDW tires, I was able to get a best of 12.2 at 120 mph with half of a tank and full weight. Hoping with traction and the spare out to see 11.70s. MPH is there for low 11s, but the 1/8 time is not up to par.

Mods include: Stage 5 ported blower, 2.76 upper, JLT HB intake, KB BAP, catted x, magnaflow catback, shifter, WOT box - yes, it does work well and the pops are fun too.

You are leaving a ton on the table with that combo without using a good tire! Good luck!

Agreed, hope these fix that!

What was the 60'?

What was the 60'?

2.07 was the 60. What do you get with a tenth off your 60 relative to overall ET? I can't find a good calculator.

Rough estimation is each .1 off the 60 is nearly worth .2 in the end.

Thanks for the the details. Link is fixed above to my photobucket account with the new wheels!

Its crazy how things are. My car only traps 115ish and makes roughly 420-430rwhp and its convertible also but i have been 12.1 with a 2.0 60' and i let off right before the traps...

Weather, driving, traction, ect. all make a difference. Hoping the WOT box at 2k on launch, mickeys at 18 lbs and shifts hit will net a much better time than my previous outing. Looks like you have more on the table as well, just not as much as I do judging by power/mph you mentioned above.

Went back and ran three 12.0x passes at 120 mph. 60 foot is down to 1.85, but still not launching hard/using the two step with the stock rear setup. Going to disable the two step function next time out because I think it was engaging despite me not trying to use it - kind of odd, honestly. I will post results after next Saturday (Nov. 1st). Hopefully pics/vids of high 11 second slips are in the works. If I keep it, suspension/building to hit it hard out of the hole will be next.

You are right there....just be careful with the drag radials and half shafts. You want 11's now? Put a set of bias plies on it and let her rip.

Wheels look sharp on your car.
