Slicks or drag radials. No one runs a hard tire on anything over 600whp. You can get by with an R compound road course tire to keep some handling until about 700whp.


I think I will be no one lol. I won't be running DRs after I kill the set on there now and they're already pretty low.

You can get by with a 335 R compound road course tire like an R888. Drag radials make the car feel like a boat.

I know some N/A stock bottom end guys that run pull off dirt track tires on their drag wheels. They hook with their 450-470whp and they get them free.

This is a track only set up. I've heard they don't do well on unprepped asphalt at all.

I of all people am not jealous of that. I could DD mine too and it should go mid 9's rowing gears. Fortunately I have 5 vehicles so I don't have to.


Running 10's would require you to push the accelerator past half way. Are you up for that?


I agree. Other than the loud exhaust and d1sc it drove like stock for the most part while not in the throttle hard.
Damn, that 3rd gear 40-120 pull we did though.

It's pretty tame thanks to the twin disc clutch and my tuning. I forgot to tell you that was the 17° timing tune which makes about 720whp.
