I need some 5.0 automatic drag radial launching tips quick.

[Bmr4life]

I'm running 17in ET street drag radials best launch I've had a is 2.0 60'. I've been lauching anywhere from 1800 to 2000 rpm. I did a second gear burnout the last time launched at 2000 and just smoked them on the start.

Best run with a 2.0 60' was [email protected]

 

[Bad Intention]

Try launching off idle. I cut some 1.81 with just tune and DR's.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Need more info bro. How long are you doing the burnout for and what tire pressure are you running?

 

[808muscle]

I have ET streets which I believe is a stickier tire, 30 psi, 2nd gear burnout till smokey, launch off idle. Best 60ft 1.86 Stock convertor doesnt hold much rpms so I dont even bother.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

808 I bet your spining out of the hole.

30 psi on ET Streets..wow!
I was running 18-20 lbs. on my 26x11.5x17's ET Street's pulling 1.8's. On a bad track prep night I would drop it to 14-16 lbs and still was keeping the 1.8's all night.
It would take a lot to heat them up on the first couple of passes. After a good 10 sec. burnout they were good the rest of the night with just a brush off burnout on the rest of the passes.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Sup wizard. Long time no see. Yeah id run 14-16 psi get them hot, foot brake it and drop the hammer on the 3rd yellow. See what 60 ft you get then.

Hey guys, I was home and sleep when you starting replying.

I had 8 runs. 5 were 2.0. The others were a 2.1, 2.2, and 2.5

Last 6 runs were long, smokey, and in 2nd gear. I tried launching anywhere from 1600-2000, never tried off idle. Around 2k, I would spin them bad off the line. Lower and it would bog.

First 2 runs, (2.1 & 2.0), I had 17# in the tires. Last 6 I had 15#. The tires are right at the wear bars. I got them used.

Drop it down to 15psi.

 

[Bmr4life]

Drop it down to 15psi.

I did.

 

[Seer]

I did.

then roll into it before slamming the throttle.

then roll into it before slamming the throttle.

Okay. So foot hard on brake. Other foot on gas, only 2krpm. When its time to launch don't floor it?

I let it roll out about 20ft, then slam on it. Thats how I was getting 1.6's NA

 

[Bmr4life]

Alright, so next time I go I'll give these things a try.

Going off idle.
Rolling into the throttle in the first 20ft.

Anything else?

With stock convertor 1.8s will be about your best. I run 275/40/17 MT DRs I run 13 psi in them ( more and I spin out of the hole some and a little on the 1-2 shift. I hold the brake just enough to keep it staged. On the third amber ( on a sportsman tree) I go WOT off idle. Car is consistent mid 1.8s to low 1.9s. I also have a Boss intake ( hurting me out of the hole) CAI, tune, 3.15 gear. I cross the stripe at 7200 in 3rd. I shift at 7500.

Do you run tubes in the et streets?

 

[Seer]

Do you run tubes in the et streets?

ET Street Radials do not require tubes. The Regular ET Street which is a DOT Bias Ply, can run with or without tubes. The ET Drag is the same way cept its not DOT.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I didnt ask if they require them, some people like to run tubes because you can run a lower tire pressure. If he was running tubes i was gonna suggest running a lower psi.

I wasn't sure who you were asking. I don't run tubes.

No problem man. I was just gonna suggest running a lower psi.
