What Rear Tire and Wheel Combo are You Running at the Track?

[bjboudre]

I am looking for a good drag radial tire and wheel combo for the track to put on my 05. I used to run Hoosier Quick Times on my 94 Cobra 10 years ago but want to know what people are with today.

I'm interested to know this too. I was thinking about getting some 03 cobra rims and running some DRs. Saw a similar setup to this in 5.0 Mustang, they were running ET streets though.

I'm running 275 bfg dr's on the stock rims.

How well are these working for you? What are your 60ft times and how are you launching on these? Thanks for replying.

I'm running Hoosier Drag Radials on 17" rims. They hook ok, but I think I need more sidewall with the suspension setup and power I'm making. 11.3@125mph with a 1.78 60' is my best time so far.

How much power are you making and how much boost?

505rwhp on a Mustang dyno. Probably a hair more now since we've made some changes to the tune. 11psi of boost on a 6 rib setup. Little belt slip in the higher rpms. We have an 8 rib conversion in the works.

I went from averaging 2.1's to averaging 1.9's, my best is a 1.89 running them at 25 psi. I'm sure their is more to be gained if I lower the pressure more. Pretty much leaving with a 3k clutch drop.
