3.0 60'? I get 2.0 60's on a poorly prepped track while still on my 245 street tires. It is all on the launch. I leave from around 1800 rpm and I drop it. I usually catch hard. tirepressure is around 28psi.

the track was about 45* and air temp was less i think. i launched from the same rpm but i slip it. still need tires though.....

please refer to my "owned" picture in the other thread

back to the topic........
i would get nitto's sticky enough, but not to sticky that you'll break something

I'm going to go against the grain here and say get either the MT ET street or ET street radial. I raced my car and my mom's stock bullitt quite a few times with the stock rear end. i kept the tires aired up to 22-25lbs (on bias ply 26X10.5X16 ET streets), with the high air pressure they would spin if I launched too hard, this helped to not break anything. I still managed 1.91 60's in my mom's car and mid 1.6's in mine. Get the sticky tire now so you don't have to re-do it later when the drag radials don't give as much bite as you'd want. if they are going to be a strip only thing then get DEFINITELY get the MT's, I'd go with the ET street bias ply but that's me. I haven't seen enough of the ET street radials myself to sway me that way over the bias ply tires yet.

yea i plan on a mostly strip use with them. the bias ply et streets have a tube no? if so id rather go with the et street radials. my freind was telling me about a 10 sec camaro on the radials and said they hooked like a mother.
