Default Members running 26"slicks

right now i am running lenso 13" 24.5x8 and the best i have trapped so far has been 138mph. although i only done seven passes on the car with slicks since i finished it, so i probably could get 140 with more seat time. anyhow my question is for those of you guys that use to run the 24.5 and switched over to 26's how much did your mph and et improve?

i know this varies on everycar but i just wanted to get a general idea

What tire pressure are you running? You certainly have the mph to run lower et's.

yea thats the one. the vid from that pass is already posted. last night we ran but the car blew a whole on one of the silicone hoses of the intercooler pipping. the car still ran a 10.9 @ 119 ...it blew the hose right when it hit boost on 4th gear.

lower your air pressure.. 8psi is alot, and try a set of 25x8.7's..

Remember, the first step towards the top is next step up.
