Good improvements. Why are you spinning ET streets?

green96ta replied 1 month ago
i have no idea. it was pretty cold outside. i tried everything. barely heating them up, heating the hell out of them, went down from 30psi to 15 in 2-4 psi increments. best hook was at 15-19 psi and i was still audibly spinning. i have lca relo brackets, lakewood boxed lcas sfcs and eibach springs

ET Streets are classified as DRAG RADIALS. They most definitely are radials. http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...0Streets&dd s=...

That's no excuse for talking to me like I'm some retarded kid...

i went to beech bend and ran one run. thats all i had time for. i ran the tires at 18 psi 1200 converter flash, punched the throttle. DEAD hook! 1.767 60 foot. it was just that track. beech bend is a way better track. this is because it is older too. but i disagree with running drag RADIALS at normal psi. 15-19 psi seems to be where 90% of people hook best. now that i have this 2-3 shift issue fixed and i flash the stall at 1500 im willing to...

8 teens is like 12.60's @ 109'ish. You'll be 8.0's next time out is my guess. If this is an ET Street, I'd try 12-13 psi.. lots of heat. bkpliskin, Al has been through more pairs of tires than you can imagine.
