my best time yesterday was 13.7@102.5 at about 10 psi on my LS hatch, non gutted.. my 60 time was about 2.2.. Man, there's not much difference from my street tires and them 555r's, only differences was probably about .3 seconds, no wheel spin in 1st, and its hella hard on my tranny. i was very concerned about the tranny jerk when i shifted with the 555r's that i'm probably not going to run slicks or drag radials anymore.. just going to stick with street tires for now on... the 555'rs didn't even help my 60ft times that much enyways..

...

running tokico blues with the typical drop springs, no cut stockers.. was going to put some front springs in the back, but it made the car sit akward w/ the rear end up too high and so i put the regular ones back in..

You might need new suspension bushings. There's probably too much play in the old bushings, which will hurt your 60 ft's and launches. I would highly suggest Z10's radius arms.

Also, what kind of suspension are you running? Don't tell me it's some chopped springs or something?

 

Damn, I had better be running faster than 13.7's.
****, I gotta goto the track soon..

 

forgot to mention that the track was slippery as heck..

 

the reason your time didnt improve is cause u didnt get a better 60ft.. thats what the drag radials are all about.. U need to heat those bitches up.. burn and burn em until u start to see smoke coming in your cabin.. then line up at the light and launch at about 4k, u WILL hit a 2.0 60' if u do it right..

 

Maybe better. I hit 2.0 on street tires. My tire pressure was at 9 psi though.
