I normally just run my Nitto DR's 275/40/17, but the track was bad and I wanted 10's didn't happen.

A friend let me use his ET streets 26x11.50/16.

results with 150 shot:

How old are those nitto's. Your 60', et and mph are all over the place.

Consistancy with the ET streets sure came around.

 

Thanks


The Nitto's are few months old, I might have to get a pair of ET streets

I really wanted to get in the 10's on Nitto's though

 

Wow!! Thats a sweet improvement.
Good luck hitting 10s!

Thx,
Claude

 

OK, I should have asked how old/mileage are on the Nitto's. Even though they may have lots of rubber left, a lot of street driving can easily dry out a tire like that. Once the oils in the rubber are dried out, they won't hook up any more even though they look fine.

 

the difference is in the sidewall height and construction. on the nitto 17" you only have about 1 1/2" height. on the e.t. streets 16"you have about 2 1/2" height. so that gives the tire a chance to absorb the shock of launching. alos, the e.t. street is basically a slick design. so the sidewall can wrinkle.

 

I told you so

 

Nice times with the Mt's...but 13 shot's of juice in one night? Ouch

 

Looks like you were running out of N2o on the last pass. Try a full bottle and et streets with a little better weather and 10's could happen. Looks like me and you on the same track. 10's or bust
Goodluck

 

Thanks.

Well I tried a Full bottle the next night ended up melting all 4 plugs on the drivers side and it's now making a ticking sound, maybe a bent valve

Nitto's
2.350 8.833 87.35 13.361 108.99
2.185 8.576 87.91 13.078 109.74
2.143 8.286 89.15 12.753 110.29

ET streets
1.727 7.802 88.97 12.260 109.66
1.624 7.063 98.51 11.136 117.14 lost power around the 1/8

Might have been a 10, who knows


The Nitto's have about 1,500 miles not counting the smokey burnouts.


I also don't know how bad the plugs were making these runs, the Saturday before I made some 100 shot runs.

 

Well, ended being a piece of the valve broke off

Everything else is good

Now I have some Patriot 5.3L stage 2 heads on the way, new times to follow

 

When will the mod madness end

 

It was supposed to end awhile ago

Still need to get some 30lb injectors, My own ET streets.

I need a second job just to keep up, payckeck, what paycheck

 

It was only 7 the rest were n/a
