I ran my fastest time last Tuesday, 12.0 @ 119. That was on my pump gas map and snow tires and a god awful 1.9 60'. I cant wait to go back well prepared to finally be an official 11 second car!!!

With some nice low 60's those traps should be good for mid 11's! Very nice.

My EVO gets better short times on the snows, it roasts the 245/45/17 REO1R's to a 1.8-1.9..Car looks to be making some nice power, how much boost/?

The tire spin helps a bit,eh? 23psi and 25 psi, map dependant.

i think this thread just incouraged me to finish putting my t-bolt clamps on and go for a run down the track this week on snow tires.

Running ~120 traps in an AWD car should be good for DEEP 11's. Nice job!

snow tires ftmfw. I went 12.06 @ 113 on blizzack ws-50 snows a couple years back in my EVO. that was with a 1.71 - 60' though, if you can come out of the hole a little better you'd have an 11 sec car for sure.

I have never heard anything good about those Nittos. How do you like them so far? I've heard good and bad about the BFG dr's but if it were up to me i'd go with some Mickeys.

not really happy to be honest. i got a 1.78 60ft last year when i wasnt on the spray. and pulled a 12.05@117 i will go down again just to see if it was the track or the tires.

I have both the BFG DR's & Nitto 555RII's (same compound as the 555R but with an extra belt in the sidewall) on my Z, but I never ran either tire at the strip.

everyone who drag races with them (Nitto's) says you need a lot of heat to get them to stick well. Just from driving both tires on the street I would agree. I can spin the Nitto's much easier then the BFG's.

Thats exactly what i heard, you need a big burnout to get the nitto's going when some other tires seem to be a lot better straight up or with a minimal burnout.

just curious what track you guys going to? Im hoping that its e-town because if it was e-town, come to Atco and I bet you will hit 11s with ease. The track is so better prepped this year, the first 300ft I believe were repaved earlier.... I bet u will better that 60ft and hit your goal of 11s easily....

If u were at atco, Id say time to let some air outta those tires or post a vid so I can see whats going on... just my .02
