bfg drag radial was tested to i believe a mid 8 second run...

we turned 10.98@125 with a 1.6 60' in the miata....400rwhp

paul efantis and others have used the same and had great success....

get em bald and second gear burn out will heat em up..

i went 13.5@109 with a fwd mx6 with 1.71 60' back in the day bout 300fwhp
tire should be no lower that 12psi....the balder the better we tested....

i think ive made my mind up...GSR
so the gsr has more of a powerband right fellas?
i have a wannabe 99si so i hope i get good times on drag radials with a build gsr!
the thing is i have a b16 head and will b puttin it on a gsr...does it lower the compression?

Best on BFG's are some 7.9X's, best ever on radials is Rick Head, 7.66 on Mickey Thompson radials. You don't run 3 tenths quicker just by changing tires in a fluke accident., the MT's are a much better hooking tire.
