Car put down 501 RWHP @ 6700 rpms and 453 torque @ 2400 rpms STD numbers.

Any thoughts with a good 60 foot time?

You are going to need drag radials or slicks with your set up, or your 60 ft times will suck

 

[Ian_117]

275 radials FTW

 

[Mattr89]

Yea but what do you guys think the estimated times should be?

 

[555]

mid 12s with a 1.9 60 ft until you can hook up

I'm assuming that your car weighs about 3,700 lbs with you in it, so with 501 rwhp you'd be looking at trap speeds in the 123-125 mph range in the 1/4 mile.

The Nitto NT555's are just gonna go up in smoke so you'll be lucky to have sixty foots in the low 2's and 1/4 mile ET's in the mid 12's or worse. Put some sticky drag radials or slicks on the car and it should go low 11's - maybe even 10.90's in good air.

Be sure to post up some timeslips when you get to the track.

 

[aleborjas]

if it hooks mid to low 11's

Skip radials and go to a slick. Trust me, best money I have spent.

My car weighs about 3425 without me in it. I'm 160 so 3600 roughly. I am hoping to get it down to a 3300 without me which will be awesome. Tubular k member and aluminum driveshaft to come soon.

I thought BMR relocation brackets help launches? I have those have taken to the track yet tho.

What tires should I get for drag radials that can be daily drivers?

Are nitro nt555 tires good for street? I liked my last set but they went bald in 25k.

I'm not a big fan of Nittos - on or off the street. As for drag radials, they don't last very long when you use them as daily drivers, but I use to run BFG drag radials as daily drivers in the summertime. Since you and I are both in the Puget Sound area, there's just too much rain to use drag radials most of the year. I have an extra pair of wheels with drag radials mounted for track days, with my regular daily driver wheels shod with Eagle F1 Assymetric all-season high performance tires. I've also had great luck on the street with Continental Extreme Contact DWS's (dry-wet-snow).

You should come out to Bremerton Raceway September 20th for the last test'n'tune of the season. Should be a bunch of Mustangs there that night.

What should I order, NT555, NT555R or NT05R? I have to choose one of these to stay 285/40/18 or i can do 295/40/18 with the Falken Azenis RT615K

 

[Five Oh Brian]

Stay away from the triple 5's. The NT05R is a stickier tire. You really have too much power for anything less than a drag radial, though.

I agree with Brian....Maybe look into street tires & swap rear wheels on track days to a dedicated DR. I have run MT DRs before and they hook very well and handled well on the street. Again, as mentioned, I wouldnt recommend driving on DRs regularly. Not because they cant handle it, but because they will wear out quickly, especially if you werent happy with 25k mile tires prior. Good luck! Let us know what you decide on.
