Well they can depending on suspension setup. The radials are heavier but they have more of an advantage then they do downfall. You will MPH better with the radials, and they are MUCH more stable on the big end of the track...However, with a manual transmission they can be less consistant as well as less forgiving when track prep isn't there. After having both I like the radials better. If you have a chance to try them out, give them a shot u may really like them. On my 17" MT DR's(for street use) i got over 6k miles out of them and some track passes for fun, on the street they hook awesome!

 

My cars a daily and I still have a 10 bolt so nitto's is all it will ever see, expecially with all the rain in Florida. My friends who ran the m/t's on the street heat cycled them to the point where they were hard before they wore them out.

 

really i know two people that ran the m/t's on the street with no issues, one of them [me>you] on this board ran them on his GTO over 14k before he traded it in with them still having good tread.

i hear you on the forgiving part though, i am scared to break this thing too, i dint have the money for that right now.

good luck with your trans though, it dont sound good

 

Ai heads would really wake it up

 

AI heads will wake anything up...

 

Even the dead!!

 

I asked questions to infinity to those like Jason Short and Jordon, who've been at this playing field and above. I considered AI, LE and Overton's guy (Eric Bradby?). Out of the three I could only get ahold of AI in the window of time I was giving myself to make my decision. I gave them the specs and they sent me an invoice for AFR 210's at over $3000.00. I wasn't quite sure I wanted to spend that amount of money so I decided to take the gambe by using the Lingenfelter heads. Honestly I would've hated to buy the AI (any cylinder head for that matter), put them on and gain only a few hp, if any. I understand that's part of the game, but that's too much for me to gamble.
I am surprised the LPE heads have done so well on this combo, but the jury is still out as to whether or not they are being any sort of hindrance.

 

Enjoy the ride man, Im glad you got your setup up and running. We need more SR's running anyway to kill some of these myths out here.

 

hey SS RRR, how streetable is this set up? do you drive it alot on the street. just wondering because i have always heard SR are not good for the street

oh and BTW wanna race? j/k man

 

Oh haaaaaaaaay!

Another acceleration vid:

It's a little better than the last. It is best viewed in full screen mode.

This is approx a 13 - 110mph punch.



P.S. This is still a 3750lb car. Only things removed are the spare tire/jack.

 

Hearing that makes me wish I still owned a stick.

 

You need some camera skills, I can't see anything

 

ur monitor is teh sux0rz

 

I hope you make it to the EFA shootout, get some good vids there.......maybe we can take one side by side so we only have to film it once

 

Only to 113? Are you saying this thing is only going to trap 113-114?
