Did you get new wheels Ed? 275's are pretty wide. Im running 225 Nitto DR's and couldnt hook up at all at carlsbad. I kept hitting 2.2's. From what I've seen you pretty much HAVE to run slicks there.

Yeah, I was going to pick up a set of welds but it fell through...got me a set of stock 15's I got the BF Goodrich Drag radial and it has 10" of tread

I think I will hook a lot better with them!

So you put those wide tires on 8 inch wide rims? Does it work ok? Is it safe? I wanted to put 245's on my car but the shop said it wouldnt be real safe so I got 225's

ed1371 · 08-27-2001, 11:39 AM

I am putting it on a 7" rim. The Manufacturer reccomends 7"-11" for the rims so I am in the clear from what they say.

I am only going to be using them when I drag BTW.

I cant believe they told you that you shouldn't put 245's on 8" rims! Just about every stang I look at with 7 1/2" - 8" rims has 245's. I kick myself all the time for getting 225's last time I bought rears.

Hope you all can make it out...

ed1371 · 08-27-2001, 01:08 PM

well, my best on street tires is a whopping 2.3 so I will be happy to pull 2.0-2.1 if I can. I am going to be pulling the front sway bar too...I want low 13's bad!

Hey sky, you going to get that nitrous of yours working?

Skyman · 08-28-2001, 01:05 AM

I hope they hook. I have yet to see anyone hook well yet with drag radials at any track though.

My slicks wont break loose there though, so I have no problems.

It will all be working.

ed1371 · 08-28-2001, 10:23 AM

Well, I went back and forth about it. The only reason I decided to go with drag radials is the stress on the driveline slicks would put on it. I am already stressing it hard with N2O and a heavy car.
I am going with the widest tire possible with the turbines and have heard lots o people saying they cut really good 60'times with em...If it doesn't work out well, I guess I will go buy a spare tranny and get slicks

MMLX · 08-28-2001, 11:56 AM

one thing I haven't done is get the drag radials hot because of a weak clutch, do you guys reccoemnd doing a big burnout with them?

YES!! Smoke em till you cant see a foot in front of you and keep spinning em up to the staging light. My best on the 225 Nittos is a 2.0 but a frient of mine hit a 1.8 on his BFG's

Hey are you going Jesse? You never mentioned if you were or not...

I know if I want the best 60' times I need slicks but I would like to keep things working at least for at least 6 more months.

-ed

fastang · 09-01-2001, 08:42 PM

Ed, I think a good set of E.T. streets will work damn close to as well as a slick. You can drive em to the track too if your lazy or dont want to get your interior all dirty hauling em up there.

I hope to have everything done and go to Fontana on the 8th. Im still not positive that I will have it ready by then but its lookin good. Are you going on the 8th too? If you and Sky are going to go on the 15th Im in. Lets meet up somewhere and get lunch before or just drive through somewhere and eat while waiting for them to let us in the gates. I would go back after I get my dyno tune but whatever. Im in.

ed1371 · 09-02-2001, 05:19 AM

I wont be going on the 8th..your car has to registered in CA to race there! (mine is AZ)

Sky is going on the 15th to Carlsbad as well as 6 others from yuma and some other ppl I know in San Diego..should be fun..hope you can make it!

-ed

Skyman · 09-02-2001, 08:48 PM

I need to make a list of all the CA stang guys on this board so I can mail them all and drag their asses to the track when we go.

I can't wait. Hopefully I will get an 11 this time.

Hey, I am still up for going next weekend but I wont be able to access the forums here until next the 14th cause I am going to Camp Pendleton for the week and leaving tommorrow morning. If you want to get something to eat before hitting the track decide on a place and I will check the site right before I head back to CA on the 14th.

See you guys next week..
