I bought my current Z28 from my brother who used to run 150 shot on the car. He ran a best of 12.15@115.6 w/ a best mph of 117.1 with Edebrock shorties, CAI and BFG DR's.
I leave the line @ 2200 RPM and make 450 rwtq and cut 1.6's.
But every car is different.

IMO, the BFG Comp T/A's were better than the SZ50's and the DR's were a little better than the Comps. Tire pressure makes a big difference. Go too low on a street tire and you'll smoke them off the line. Also try experimenting with tire pressure that's different on one side. Pump up the fronts to max psi for your tire. Good luck!

i seen some nice looking nittos in a friend's import tuner magazine. they listed for under $100 per tire in our 245-50-16 size. i'll probably end up going with comp t/a again but those were some very nice looking tires.

I've run a 13.1 @ 109 with Goodyear Eagles. Ran a best of 13.3 at 106 with my old Kumho Ecsta Supra's. I think I could have run just as fast on the Supras as the Eagles, my driving skill just improved.

Good Luck!

Larry at Speed Inc. (where I work), went 11.4 at 120 with (I think) about a 1.7 60ft on 20 INCH regular Nitto radials. This was with a naturally aspirated 383 and a T400.
