hmph, cant wait to try out some more runs under my belt w/ the new stangs C&L intake and brenspeed tune going on this weekend.


hopefully evenually ill find a sweet spot for my M&H radials and then evenually lower control arms to help w/ launch and 4:10's.. 3:55's are killing me

Not to put anybody down, but 1.9 60 fts with drag radials dont seem to good to me????. I have been cutting 1.8X 60 fts on the stock BFG 18's and completly stock suspension(except for prototype springs from Eibach).

Is there anymore left in that drag radial or is that the best it can do??? im in the market for some, but those dont seem like they will help me.

1.8's on stock BFG's is not normal. That's very very good. You are launching perfectly, and would probably see 1.6 or 1.7 with stickies. Most likely your track prep is dead on also. Most people average 1.9-2.2 on stock rubber. I've only heard of a handfull or so S197 owners cutting 1.8's with stock tires. But I agree. 1.9 is a bit high with drag radials. Keep in mind, he's completely stock. No gear mods, not suspension mods, and obviously not a veteran. 2.1 is the most I've been able to muster out of my stock rubber.

Oh dont be fooled by the numbers, its taken me MANY weeks of tire pressure variation and clutch slipping to get there. I found a small burnout with about 16 psi is what i need with my stock(tune only)287hp/307tq WITHOUT gears/bolt ons is about the best i can get it.

I have used the M&H DR's on the street for about a month before I switched them out for the 305/45/18 Nitto 555R's. The Racemasters are off now and will be saved for track duty come spring. I will tell you they are best gripping tires I have ever used! Can't wait to get them to hook with the Kenne Bell.

3800 rpm's last season, but 4300 rpm's next season (automatic trans with a high rpm stall converter). Peak torque is at 4500 rpm's in a 4.6L 3V.
