What DARG slicks dimensions are you using.

What I know there is for 15inchers only 22/8/15 available and this is a very low diameter for DRAG racing IMO. Is there no 24/8/15 or 24/9/15 availabel?

Let me know what aou are doing and what are you doing to bring that power to gound.

 

You are really going further to the dark side!!! First a turbo and now you're going to dragrace your ITR???

 

There are 8 events in Hungary and about 4 events in Austria this summer!

MAn, tires for autoX, tires for DRAG, a set of street tires and a set of winter rubbers! What an expensive hobby

 

mines not turbo , but im prob pushing 250 or so to the wheels
i got 22x8x15 and they seem to work fine . . . . the only issue i have is wheel hop, but that is lack of suspension upgrades. . meaning (all stock susp)
but im sure you will be more than fine with those.

 

Thanks!

I only have some lowering springs, is it true, that the supspension has to be soft in front for DRAG launches?

What brand is the best? Mickey Thompson? What is a good price on that?

actualy i think you want stiffer. if the car doesnt transfer the wieght good and like rocks from front to back when you shift, you lose out on your et.
i got my mickeys for like 125 a piece
m&h is great though too

 

Thanks! Any info for me is great! I have to import everything which has to do with DRAG sport. Like DRAG Slicks too. Our slicks available here are only for track racing and therefore they have a stiff sidewall.

 

m/t for $125? where you get those???i'm looking for some too...

 

As I have told you before, there is a 24.5x9.5x15 (or somewhere around there)
MT if im not mistaken

 

24.5s are big boys, id wana be pushing close to 300 if your gonan use them. youll be lucky if yousnap axles, i shattered a clutch and fried a dif with 24.5sx8. although 1.7 60foots are pretty fun

 

I think he made over 400whp didnt he?

you definatley want the 24's with that power level.

when I made 315whp (in a gsr) I was banging the revlimiter in 4th going through the traps at 116 on the 22x8x15's... I assume the R is worse... if you get a 24 or 24.5 it may kep you in 4th...

sorry I dont know of anyone who makes one, I was able to switch to 13's when the time came...
