Well I finally got to go to the track yesterday and put my m/t's. The weather was in the 70's and felt very humid.

Ok first run with street radials
stall at 2500 meduim hard launch
60' 2.21
1/4 mile 14.30
1/4mile mph 98.02

second run with m/t's and cut off open
stall at 2500 hard launch
60'2.14
1/4 mile 14.23
1/4 mile mph 97.94

third run with m/t's and cut off closed
stall at 2500 hard launch
60'2.15
1/4 mile 14.19
1/4 mph 97.84

Overall kinda of disappointed with the times . What u guys think?
Last time I went to the track I didnt have the m/t's , cai, and hp tunning and ran a 14.51 @96.65mph on a hot evening.

the lower the DA the better your car will run.

Did you still spin alot off of the line? Or did the tires hook pretty well?

Did you go to the track in Edinburg? I've got quite a few friends that go there and run.

I ran a 2.15 on my stock tires with little to no tread left. This could be track prep, though.

If you can get your 60's down to the 1.9-2.0 range you will hit 13's... trap speed seems a tad low for the mods though.

The tires hooked really good man felt nice when I let go off the brake and floored. And yeah the track I went to is in edinburg.
