![]() I painted a silver strip on them. You don't HAVE to have a 9 or 10 second car before the wheels start spinning in the slicks.
Last time out they felt like they were spinning a little and my 60' was a tenth more than usual. I just want to find out if the rims are spinning or I have traction problems now with this new converter. Is there a way to determine if slicks are getting worn down?

My slicks usually stop hooking up and get cracked before I can wear them out. Trust me you are not spinning the rim inside the slick ![]() The more time you spend at the track the more you will see I am right. ![]()

![]() I have heard of a low 11 sec 393 stroked stang c4 4.56 grs, spun the rim just a hair off it's mark, Im pretty sure it would take a hard 1.4 60' to spin one though, with lots of torque and nitrous anything can give.
