Car also picked up 2mph with the tire...

You know the more power you make the harder it is to hook right? So if you put say a BFG 17" or Nitto 17" drag radial on this car it would probably cut 1.8s....
I would say hooking a 1.6/1.5 on a 152mph car with a 17" drag radial is pretty impressive. Why don't you get to the track so you can add a real record to your signature on EVOM |

Think about it, those tire are expensive and there is no real use for them. There is no point. Why do you want to run 17" wheels and the amazing tires of 9sec9 for your 9 sec car if you are going to cut 1.56 60' ? I rather run a 16" wheel with Hoosier QTPs (DOT tires) like Cwill and cut a 1.39 60' Why run this tires with a high 11 low 12 sec car when Indy Evo has only been able to cut a 1.63-1.7? When CJ and Mikey have been able to cut a 1.60 and I think a 1.59 on regular summer tires. + this tire suck in the rain Just because they send you a couple of sets doesn't mean that you have to like them Have you seen Mikey's sig here on NASIOC that one is funny |

I would think that there are other factors that play with 60ft times. Suspension set-up and..oh, the driver.
Also, it takes a little getting used to different tires or set-ups to make it work. I thought these Hooters were made for the (everyone has them) 17" wheels. Going down to 16 or 15' wheels may work for some cars, but you'll have to change brake set-ups then. I wear Fruit -O-Loom and the next guy wears Hanes because it works for him. |

They are for fast cars that want to retain the oem big brakes. I have cut 1.5s on all seasons, does it mean I will put the same all seasons on my car making 500 more whp and still cut 1.5s? That is what you don't seem to get. Dont even get into the nitto tire, unless you plan on doing a big burn out.. they wont hook for ****. On the Subaru they will improve gearing vs running a BFG since they only make the 235/40/17.. They will keep you in power longer, and they are lighter.. which helps as well. |

Ill say this and stand by it. If you have 450whp or less, buy drags, run 18-19psi of tire pressure, a quick slip dump, and hello 1.50-1.60. I cut about 40 sub 1.65's with my stock turbo, no over exageration. They were all in between me having drive train isues that even still exist. LC, only big turbo guys need it. I think if my diffs or whatever is going on with my drivetrain was fixed, I'd be able to hit 1.5x's almost every time at a decently prepped track (now). To get a perfect launch, there is def physics and feel. To get a decent launch (high 1.6's), its easy. You just have to not care about the car one bit (like i did for 60k, and now the car doesnt launch, lol) Last edited by STi Mikey; 12-18-2009 at 01:15 PM. |

Im completely down for that. All I have to do is fix the drivetrain issue. Ill probably see if jimmy can take the trans/diffs out and take a look at them. Or send it to rallispec to have it analyzed.

Mother ****er you were in Orlando? I heard you were coming down to Sarasota and tuning at that Full Throttle shop, didn't know you would be in Orlando though. Who from the shop did you meet?
