Have some v-6 wheels for slicks.

95Vert · Jul 28, 2006

But I don't know what size of slick I should get, what do you all recommend. I know Ernie ran these wheels with slicks, so I hope he chimes in.:SNSign:

i think I have 9.5 hoosier quick time pro's on mine

95Vert · Jul 28, 2006

Thanks, I'll look into those.

26x10.5.15 MT ET Streets work fine.

they are a bit on the small side but i like that because i still have the stock
T-5

If they both hook well, it'll go down to price. Thanks guys.

mootang · Jul 28, 2006

I will let you know how they hook in about 12 hours! going to the track in a half hour so i'll let you know how they do!

mootang · Jul 29, 2006

well, I'm back from the track and after getting the hang of the slicks I managed a 1.78 60ft. on them! I could probably do better with some more practice since I only have about 12 runs on the slicks.

on a side note, It felt so AWSOME having traction out of the hole! felt like a fricken rocket and threw my head back! I can't imagine what it feels like to pull a 1.5 or below!

forgot to mention I have a completely stock suspension except for eibach sportlines and strange shocks & struts

Joe 5.0 · Jul 30, 2006

Congrats, anything in the 1.7's is pretty good, esp with stiffer lowering springs which kill weight transfer.

15 inch wheels??

26x8.5x15 et drags
or like mentioned
26x10.5x15 et streets

i dont have any experience with the hoosiers, but i have used et drags and street a lot. my current set up is bias ply 26x11.5x17 et streets on stock 17x8 cobra wheels and im pulling some weak 1.6s with them. i need some susp work myself

95Vert · Jul 30, 2006

That's pretty amazing mootang. So I guess they do hook. Thanks. What was your et?

mootang · Jul 30, 2006

well i think my tune is off since changing from the custom chip to the tweecer because my mph was down(or maybe it was the track or headwind or all three). but i did manage to beat my previouse best which is in my sig with a 13.34 @ 102.5

really would have liked to break into the 12's N/A but I don't think it will happen since i really don't want to spend a lot of time on the tune since i'm going to be putting the turbo kit on soon!

mootang · Jul 30, 2006

one other thing was on my last run i launched at about 5.5k rpm and it didn't bog, I felt some wheel hop but it still felt like it was gripping pretty good. but i guess i was spinning them because my 60ft. on that run was a 1.8xx

on the 1.7 60ft. times i think i was launching at about 4.5 to 5k rpm.

I was running 18psi. I think if I take them to the track again with the same setup i could probably play with them a little and get my launches dialed in a little better. but with that psi and track conditions 5.5k rpm seemed to be a little much for them. If you want all that you can get out your slicks you might want a 10.5" tire but as far as the hoosiers go they seem to stick pretty good!

95Vert · Jul 30, 2006

Thanks for the advice. I guess the best thing is to actually just go to the track and practice, practice, practice, which is what I need.

mootang · Jul 30, 2006

yeah practice and you have to just forget everything you know about stock T-5's. that was my problem, i was worried about droppen the hammer at high rpm's and breaking stuff.

also the guy i bought the tires off of has a VW bug that runs 10's and he said the hoosiers gripped better than the 10.5" MT's. but its a completely different setup than mustang so i don't know if that holds true for all setups.

urban96 · Jul 30, 2006

does anyone make a good 16" tire? i would like to run a set on my stock waffels w/out buying another set of wheels

mootang · Jul 30, 2006

this might help you out.

BTW i never test them on track, i made about 5 miles on street, and they handles good

Here you go
