Thread: Will this combo work for mid 13's??

Skip the ported SC, and put the money into a tire. I think you'll need some higher octane to keep any sort of decent timing though.

Were you refering to race gas when you said higher octane? What kind of tires you recomend?

BFG DR's will work well at your power level, QTP's will dead hook for you.

Yes, race gas and 17-19 degrees of timing. On premium, you'll prbably be stuck at stock timing or less.

ok just checking lol...hey do you happen to have any personal experience with these tires? i know the bfg's are real good at the track as far as hookin up.but how are they on the street as far as tread wear for a fairly aggressive driver? how many miles do you think?


Do you know What the stock timing is?

Not bad at all hey do you have any suggestions on tuning for timing? i know when you lets say advance timing across the whole board it's not a good way of doing things.so do you have any tips?

Stock timing is 15. The BFG's are pretty streetable for a DR, the Nitto's are probably more streetable, but don't hook as well. I was able to get consistant low 1.8 short times on the BFG's, and 1.7's on the QTP's. Where the DR's really shine are after you get out of the hole up to the top of first.

yeah i do need some slicks bad!!! went to the track and could not hook up in first for nothing!!! this is what i ran with a 3535 raceweight and EASING out of the lights until about 15ft



r/t-.322 - Dont ask
60'-2.1
1/8-9.328
1/4-14.45
Mph-96.57



I am confident i could break 13's with some slicks,rockers, an engine tune and a good R/T and keep the 3.8 even


all i had done to the car was 2.5 dp,p-log,160 stat,wrapped crossover and transmission tuning,stock pulley...no engine tuning yet.
