that guy actually lives like 30min away from me my car will be tuned my the same people but built by us

I would have figured 17 would be fine with 450 . How are those bfg radials over all would you say ? Maybe I'll get brave and get.my.doors blown off in x275 lol . Doubt I would be able to hook with an 8 inch slick without that sick suspension but it would benpretty funny lol . Building the car to have fun. Do some grudge racing around Michigan and what not .drive it to a few big races ect . I need to hurry up and scoop up my engine I'm getting antsy lol . You know a site for the rims that has more than just one brand on it so I can compare ?

Get a set of mickys man best tires I have used.

I remember a thread on here about them not lasting very long though lol. Was thinking some Hoosier daddies

They may not last very long but you will hook all day

The BFG's are stickier than the old nitto 555R's and probably about the same as the new Nittos. The Hoosier and MT radials are pretty even these days. The stickier the tire the less life you will get out of them. It is as much a part of the pay to play mentality as worse fuel economy. You will want the MT 275 pros or the Hoosier radials. Both have good followings. The MT measures a bit taller in the same size.

None of these tires hook worth a fuck unless you heat them up. The best I could get out of the BFG's on stock suspension with bilstein shocks and no front sway bar (lol audiquattro) was mid 1.7x's in my 6 speed formula. This was using a gentle slip cuz 10 bolt.

How much power did the fastest car you have ridden in make? Just curious. Anything over 500whp can blow away a set of drag radials on the street if the surface sucks or it's cold. Anything over 400whp will blow off most street tires. My 450whp wouldn't hook first at all, would spin through most of second, and break loose again in third at peak torque with the OEM Goodyear Eagle F1's. I did get a 2.0 60' out of them once lol.


Your car won't meet the safety requirements for X275 because the rules are written for low 8 and high 7 second cars. You need to be looking at Real Street and eventually Ultra street maybe.

Fastest car I've driven would be my dads Malibu , a little over 500 . Blew the tires off it until the 220mark lol .I'll check out thereal street rules after j get out of chem class. What is the round about et they run ?

In the lsx challenge series its 8.50's to 8.90's.


Once you get into heads up racing each organization has different rules. You may build a car for one series and find out you turbo is too big and you have to add 200lbs to qualify for another one.

Some of the faster "real street" classes here in the southeast are running high 7's which is basically the same as ultra street. And the X275 guys are knocking on mid 7's where the outlaw radial guys were 4 years ago with 2 of the turbos the 275 guys are running.

If you want you class race you will have to approach your build much differently. Otherwise run some index stuff and build it to be consistent.

I think I'll just build it and see where I end up or what I'm closest to being able to run lol. Just Yolo it

This is an ooooooold video. Back then Nic D's car was a simple forged 347 ls6 with AFR 225's and an ancient T76. That ride along is on 93 and low boost (12psi). He is on 315 bfgs. You see how well it hooks on the street...
