New Hoosier Drag Radials?

[Big Thumper]

Dan, when is yours going to be going again?

You have to be able to control the power in some form or fashion, first.

There are a couple of things that have to be in place first - a launch RPM limiter, and an accurate boost controller.

No tire in the world will yield consistent results, not even a slick if you don't have at least a launch RPM limiter.

If it's a TNT car and limited street use, I'd use slicks - The track isn't always there for a car on DR's. It's hard as fuck to TNT on radials on a TNT day. Around here, street tires tear up the track BAD.

SLicks will give you a lot more passes down the track without spinning, but don't drive as good.

M/T radials seem to last a while, but the track has to be good. They're street legal, a bonus to me.

I have a 2 and 3 step now. And an ams1000. Should be good on control, but I still think I am going to go with slicks this time.

ah.. good choice on the controls. You'll like them.

If you plan to grudge race, I would use slicks.

Hell IDK. I've been waiting on some custom pistons I ordered from Diamond about a month ago. Once they come it I will be putting everything together.

[Dan03mach]

The turbo Mach has never been faster than the turbo cobra on radials or anything else for that matter

How fast has it gone? .001-.002 faster? With twins and 22lbs of boost vs my lil oh single on 17lbs. 's and on radials or slicks.

That's what sucks about this hobby, it takes so long to fix something when it breaks

It's gone faster..... And never made a full pass on 22lbs. And has always been on radials. You think those shitty 57's were more efficient than your 76 is? Come on now. We will see what's up this year....

Yup sure do they made more power... Yes we will and hopefully it fly's

[Big Thumper]

I think you guys made around the same power.

Tell me about it. I've been waiting on parts to get here the last few months. lol. I'm about to just go buy a Harley to cruise around on and have some fun with.

It made 800 on 25lbs. But I never made a full pass on 22lbs, much less that. None of that matters anymore, things have changed
