8850, I have never had any problems what so ever with tire slippage. I know a lot of people who are way faster than me, no problems with them either. I tried the trans break out on them also, 4K, no problems. I shift at 5800 and go through the traps at 6300 with the 26's and 3:55's. Smaller slicks need more air and larger ones require less air. Don't know why, but thats how it works. On torque, I dynoed it at 520rftlbs at 3000rpm, (my peak) and I never had a problem with tire slippage. I do mark them for that one day, if were to happen. My 60fts are ok at 1.50 to 1.52 but a gear change this year should help that out. My weight was 3075 with me in it. Best time- 10.13 at 135mph.
Sounds like you have a light car too. What are your times that you think it will hit when you get all the bugs sorted out ?
