Should 118mph make an 11 sec pass

Mean50 · 01-15-2002, 10:19 AM

Well we took one of our streetrods to Bristol Fun Ford and my dad raced it in the Street Ford class. It weighs about 2350 and is pro-streeted. With street tires he ran 13.3 @101 but he was spinning bad. With a 150 shot he ran 12.1 @ 118 but it was melting the tires off. My friend watching in the stands said that he had to hit 2nd gear before he got passed the tree. With slicks I am sure it will hit low 11s. Oh yeah, if you punch it hard on the street tires, some times it will pull the wheels when it hooks.

A 150 shot on mine netted me a 11.77 at 110, I was shutting the gas off and slowing down before the traps. I have a c-4 w/373's and was relying on the stock tach. I put an after tach in w/light so this sunday should be a little more fun. I also bumped her to a 175 shot, looking for 11.2's at 118-120. John

That mph is good for low 11's on a good tire.

If you want to go fast get some shoes on that thing. If its Pro-Streeted then why don't you already have slicks or drag radials at least?

The problem with street tires is they are made to last more than a few thousand miles and they hafta be able to handle wet roads. A drag radial is a compromise between the slick and the radial "street tire." They have a semi soft compound like a slick but they have some shallow water grooves like a radial. They won't hook like a slike but they should be better than a street radial.
