Hi, I need new drag slicks for my camaro. Previoulsy, I had bought a used set of 28x9x15 goodyear d3 slick. Now I need a new set. I check on jeg and summit and Goodyear tire are about 30$ more expesive than Hoosier or Mickey Thompson. Witch are the best choice? All us made tire or china? The...
My 26" tall slicks make the 3.73's the equivalent of a 28.5" and 4.10's. So if I had 4.10 rear I would need a 28.5" tall slick to keep my car in the intended rpm range. However with a slightly more daily driven 3.73 the 26" slicks work better. With 3.42's you would still probably want to run a 26" tire as it is about as small as they get.
At the moment I have my mind set on a new pair of MT drag slicks to address my infamous traction issue. I was thumbing through a magazine the other day and it it samed that most of the high-end racers were using Goodyear Eagles.
To start off, Right now i have Hoosier Drag slicks. 28x10.5x15. They are almost two years old, so they are pretty much shot. last weekend i was having traction issues. i was spinning a little off the line. I have a powerglide with a brake. I was crossing the line around 7200 rpm. i have 4.56...
Who is running 15x8 rims with slicks? What size slick did you use and are you using a tube? I was looking at the Hoosier 29.0x10.5/15 or 29.0x11/15. They both say they will fit a 15x8 rim. Anyone using Hoosier slicks? Marv I know you have been. How many passes do you get on a set? [This...
A 16 year old who can't drive a stick will break any transmission grinding gears to no end. I used to hear the same thing about T5's back when I was running 120mph cars in the 1/4 mile with slicks. If you've got any used saginaws for $100 send 'em my way.-- Joe
I can't speak for the Detroit unit, but I've had an Eaton Posi in mine for several years now and it's held fine, no problems. On special occasions, it gets a set of slicks bolted up and makes a few passes down the track. The Eaton posi is not designed for regular drag strip use, but I've had no issues with the random water box hazings.
Here's mine. a picture I just took in the garage. I cleaned them the week before Thanksgiving. I'm happy with them, but I also was talking to people in the past year that have the Cooper Cobras and have the "Never been white, and can't get white letters "...that I had with the my previous set of Radial T/As.
The second time was behind a 391 that made about 650 hp. It broke on drag radials on the street. Don't get me wrong, for a mid level hp street car, its ok. I don't hate the tranny by any means, but I know there is no way it will handle the power that I am making now. I had fun with it and dont regret buying it. I know it is not my driving or ...
