Can anyone help me out. I only ran a 12.5 with my mods and want to run 11s really badly. lol

Put some bfg 275/35/18 or m/t 265/40/18 on the stock wheels and you should be all set.

I may be selling my setup 275/40/17 MT on 17 OEM MB wheels. This setup on my stock car produced 1.71 60' but on a modified 55 it produced a 1.62 60'

im selling my bfgs soon,they are off the car.I gave dima first dibs since he loves to buy all my old crap lol.

what was your 60ft? and what setup are you on now?

post up the spilts

Hammer Down

he ran 2.2 60' on street tires

All my mustang buddies pushing crazy power swear by M/Ts, or Hoosiers... Nittos/bfgs are ok...

12.5? wowwwwww you should be doing much better than that. I ran 12.53 (bone stock)

GT-ER

He has the same problem I do. I ran 12.5 stock. 80whp/100wtrq later...I still ran a 12.5....lol.

Johncy2000

I will be very interested! PM me when you want to sell them!

16" or 17" MTs or Hoosiers are the only way to go.

Johncy2000

doesnt CCW make a drag package or something?

skratch77

go with MT they have unreal grip and blow everything away,Iv had nt05s,bfgs and M/T and those suckers are almost impossibe to break loose on a stock E55,like traction off and floor it in 40 degree weather and they still freaking hook up.

My only problem with them was they didnt make a size I was looking for and nt05s and bfgs had that size.

put it this way,I just put on a new set of pilot super sports and they grip just as good if not better than my bfgs do on normal driving,the bfgs are only good once heated up and they have like a B or C temp rating so they suck cold.

the MTs on the other hand were always like glue and even in the winter would grip well(stock boost)once I went huge pulley and headers they were giving me problems and thats when I started looking into 285 sizes for an 18s wheel

How long do slicks last if I drive with them daily?

skratch77

is your car lowered? I got maybe 3000 miles out of my bfgs.Lowered cars will eat away the inside of the tire real fast and I should post a thread about checking your tires.

Johncy2000

My car is star lowered but aligned and cambered properly.

skratch77

do you have your spec sheet?I just had mine aligned and want to see how close mine is to yours.

Johncy2000

Damn I threw mine away

GT-ER

Slicks? You mean drag radials. I doubt you'd wanna daily drive on slicks...lol.

Johncy2000

O ya Drag Radials haha

AWOL

Just piece together your own "drag pack" through tire rack. Mount some 16" cheapo's with some 16" BFG drags.

I think mine cost 500 shipped

KLR CLS

Hoosier's or M/T's 16" or 17" 275 or greater. Will stick all you can throw at it. Can't run them daily, and hoosiers cannot be run on the highway. The sidewalls will fail with extended driving.

Ran a 1.6 60 ft on 18 inch Drag Radials (Hoosiers)

I'm shocked that the car ran a 12.5 with all those mods seems like traction might not be the only issue unless you are using traction and you are getting blocked on 2nd when you spin down the track. Is the car in dyno mode?

I am wondering the same as kamil. One guess is really high density Altitude (DA). Warm humid air raises havoc with our motors. Do you know what it was? I can get if you tell me the track, date and time. Or you can look for it. I think dragtimes tracks it.

MBTEK

DA was approx 1400 if I did the calculations correctly

cal1

Not great, but not that bad.

cal1

If the old rule of thumb works then a 1.8 60' knocks 8 tenths off the ET. What was the trap speed? doesn't it help indicate the potential given a good 60?
