12.942 @ 106.80 Pass Tonight with room to improve in my 6M

chuckd05

If its the tire I have than then they are out of their minds...

Mickey Thompson ET Streets are slicks with just the 4 lines of tread. They are Bias Ply.

They prob have the street drag radials which are radials tires.

they are called ET Streets, but they are NOT meant for the street at all...

the ET Street RADIALS are meant for the street...

ET Street Radial = Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

ET Street = Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

CAUTION: It is not recommended that radial and non-radial tires be mixed on the same vehicle..

they are called ET Streets because they still qualify for use in street tire events at the track, but are not meant for street use at all. the ET Streets cause a swaying feeling when you get up to speed that I dont believe anyone would want to live with.. the et street radials should feel solid on the track and street... and still have the traction of the bias plys. Overall they are the tire to get, I just purcahsed the ET Streets ( slicks ) because the price was right and came with a set of wheels I could use too.

Yea I mixed them and was begging for trouble, but never again. LOL

Im contemplating just ordering the MT Street Drag Radial in the same size as these et streets or getting a set of 18x10 like you did and go with the 18s...

Are you planning on doing a burnout Z ? If so, by pulling abs fuse or line lock or something else ?

12.9@106 is really good at DA-1046ft. its probably why your trap was only 106mph instead of 109-110ish. if you was further south down in my area you would be a 12.7 to 12.8 second car. really good times.

Perhaps I am reading you post incorrectly, but you have it backwards....higher temps +higher humidity (the south)=slower (higher DA). It's (+)1050'.....which isn't terrible. On a cold late fall/early winter day the DA can be 1500 to even 2000' lower than that, but at the same time in the dead of summer it can get to over 2500' on bad days.

jtown82

would you like for me to post the DA of the track near me? 3 weeks ago DA of.. drumroll please...... DA -300. lower elevation trumps humidity(always) if you think 1050 is a good da i feel sorry for you. heck even atco which is in NJ has negative DA's all the time because of the low elevation.

03threefiftyz

Sorry, but that's incorrect.....-DA's are rare even on the east coast. I've been in the game for a long time. Thus far in 2010 here we have had........0 days/nights with DA's under 0 when the track has been open (Cecil/Capital/Mason-Dixon/MIR). These are tracks around 100' in elevation (except Mason-Dixon which is 600'). Temperature isn't much difference b/w Cecil/Capital and ATCO/Englishtown. Only time you get - DA's is perhaps in March (not this year) and early Nov-Dec (maybe late Oct farther N) if the track stays open that late in the year. Can you have an oddity day under 0 in April/early Oct.....sure, but it only happens once or so every other year. I don't doubt you had a stray day in Ark under 0, but to say "all the time" is totally false for our area.

I was out testing my tires last night and i can spin then at 2000 with the brakes on. Now the tire preasure was 32 psig. not sure what will happen at 22 to 25 lbs tire. It was very odd because the ecu did not kill the moter, when i tried this. It usually does.
I have line lock on the 350z but not the 370z. They say that the mickey thompsons drag radial do require a burn out. Im going to go around the water box, back up to it and do a brake stand burn out and go to the line. I have a 7 AT, so this will not be easy to do.
Im, not sure what to do as im lucky if im going to get 3 pass at the track tonight.
You ran some nice time's

The track here sucks... no glue etc. I usually launch between 2k and 2.5k. Best run here so far for me was a 13.35 with a 1.91 sixty foot on Nitto NT555 (not 555R) 285/35r20s. I got my Invo 315/35r20s on and am going to the track tonight hoping for a 13.2 or better

murph18

if you're talking about coastal plains the best pass I've had there was a 13.25 @ 102. Thinking about trying Rockingham or Z Max.

Solus

Yeah I am talking about coastal plains. I want to try Z Max or Rockingham as well problem with Z Max is they don't do a whole lot of test and tune nights. Are you 7at or 6mt? and what all do you have done to yours?

murph18

7AT
Stillen- CBE, Intakes, oil cooler
Berk- HFC
Cobb- Accessport
NST- Pulleys

Put down 301 horsepower and 249 Torque on dynojet

What about you? What do you have done?

Red370

301whp with those mods? wow that dyno is either reading hella low, or the Auto suffers from alot of power loss compared to the 6mt.
