Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
I am going Saturday.
I just drained out the gas tank that had denatured alky for passing smog,,(does not run that good) but ,,good for smog
If all goes well I believe the 60-1 wheel will want more boost.
Well see how the K.R. goes.
Changed the spark plugs one step colder than stock, It runs smooth!!
Also purchaced 2 -12 weld in valve cover breather fittings.
Thanks Mike Lee!!!!
Tomorrow,I will install the BFG tires & GTA wheels,,,remember I shaved off 6-7 lbs off of each wheel/tire assy. That should do something,to make it accelerate faster.
Got the A/C charged up to chill the air to water intercooler water,while waiting in the staging lanes.
I am driving the Sy to & from the track.

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
Quick question,,what tire pressure is good for BFG drag radials? Thanks
My converter is tight ,,2100 so I do not think I will have a lot of traction problems.

You may have already run as fast as you ever will.
Parts are just parts,they don't dictate performance.
But hey,good luck,have fun.

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
I am very meticulous when it comes to adding parts to my Sy,,If I feel in any way a added part slows it down,,it will not stay on my Sy.
I just hope it stays together while makng this added power & good traction.

You won't need BFG's but 20psi should be good. I wouldn't go any lower than that.

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
I had spun the nitto drag radials before so I do think I need something stickier.
I was thinking about 22-25 range. Thanks!

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
They do not make a GTA wheel with the correct offset.
I shaved off 24-26 lbs by switching over the stock OG set-up. 6-7 lbs from each wheel/tire assy.
I got all four wheels for $100 actually I have 5. With new tires & used wheels I spent $350.00
I did not care too much about the offset I just needed to get lighter wheels than stock for drag racing.

Fontana,,, you can make it.!!!:tup:
There are going to be some GN & T-Types there also QTy ,,9,& w/two custom, as of now.

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
That's wierd that you spun Nittos... My Sumitomo standard street tires don't even think about spining and I've got 1.6 60ft before. Also I think the converter with the 60-1 turbo is going to hurt your performance. You should really go to 2600 to 2800 stall converter. Good luck at the track, keep us posted! :tup:
I'm going to guess 12.53 at 107

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
The best 60 ft was w/the Nittos spinning a bit & it ran a 1.71
I can tear up the tires even more with the 60-1 wheel installed,,once it goes into boost it gets boost faster than the 20G wheel.
I can launch @ 5,10,15,or even close to 20 PSI,,,,the converter will just stay @ 2100
I do know & need a looser converter,,just trying to see what it can do w/the stocker.
Thanks, for the goodluck.
I will keep you all posted even if,,,which I doubt,,,runs slower.
I have a feeling they are going to kick me off the track. Saftey issues. Too confident?? maybe,but I like to think positive:tup:

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
I would run 19-20 or so in the rear, front in the 25-26 range.
I'd do the shoe-polish test to determine what you need for a pressure spread, front to rear.
If track temp is below 60, you'll probably need to heat them up. It's generally better to spin 'em a bit anyway to get the staging lane crud off them.
They will stick better than the nittos. If track prep is bad, you'll still have to soft the launch a bit.
Watch the first pass of some of the bigger power RWD cars... if they spin heavy, you'll need to back off too.
The BFGs aren't quite as sticky as the M/Ts, or the Hoosier DRs. They'll still hook better than the Nittos, especially on a cooler track.

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
I couldn't hook up nittos very well either... anything past 7 psi on the launch would smoke 'em.
The Hoosier QTs would take a 12-15 psi launch and just chirp.
NHRA rules allow you to run 11.50 before getting the boot, unless your track has its own rules.
That'd be a tall order, but ya never know.... let 'er rip!

Re: Take a guess what my Sy will run.
Thanks Dig,
Track temps are I believe ,,supposed to be in the 70's
I also do stagger the front to rear pressures,,works better:tup:
I could'nt pass up buying the BFG's got the set of 4 new for $250.
