DRs is the only way you will hook. Isnt there a company that makes 18s.

That's because you don't have any sidewalls.....you need to put different tires when you are racing.....

Maddog89,

Was curious what kind of clutch/pressure plate you are using.


Thanks.

I usually drag race with drag radials but one night I went to the track with street tires and was running 13.5s @ 113mph. On one run I tried starting up in second gear and ran 14.23 @ 109mph.

When you have 4.10s and street tires you have to learn how to roll into the throttle. But to save yourself from alot of frustrations, just get drag radials.
