Those of you that are running Nitto 555R's what kind of 60-foot times are you guys getting? I have not yet ran my Nitto's at the track and recently added the JLP traction bars and am curious as to what kind of 60-foot times I should expect.

 

how ya been? i was wondering with the 4:10's and the nitrous what kinda tires you were running. also have you ran at the track with the mods? drop me a line i've got a few more questions for ya about nitrous, and your gears and all... Shanezam203@hotmail.com thanks, Shane

 

I'm still trying to get below 2.0 on mine. If you get there before I do let me know, I'm seriously considering slicks. Best time so far is 2.1, I guess it also depends on how much hp's you putting on those bad boys

 

You should see better than 2.0 with Nitto DRs for sure. I pulled 2.0s with my stock F1s. I've seen people do 1.7 60's easily with DRs.

1.81 60' 12.83 ET

 

I did a 1.89 the other day. That is my best. I'm mostly in the 1.9's with them. With Hoosiers my best was a 1.69 once nd everything else has been 1.8's. So I guess what I am trying to say is it depends upon the track and your mods and you.

 

How are u launching that

 

Must be the track conditions, can't be my driving abilities

 

My best 60 foot times have been when I do a big burnout and launch at 1200 rpm. I have a 2600 stall torque converter. I still spin.

 

I have both Nitto's and ET Streets, no comparison. The Et's are streets ahead, pun intendid.

 

Hey are you heating those tire's up properly?? somethings wrong.. Not trying to flame you I swear... Check out my times below on F1's............... Not trying to tute my own horn, but rather just showing you what can be done...

Time for a taller tire bro... Step down to 15's

 

I ran Nittos for one day at the track, loaner set with stock 01' rims, 22psi, low to mid 1.70's with a 900-1000 rpm launch. They hooked great that day and after running F1's it was world of difference.

 

I cut a best of 1.78 on my DR's. Best of 1.93 with the F1's. You have to heat them up really good. Run them ~18psi.

 

Well, i was at the FFW at Richmond the last couple of days and had some interesting results. Yesterday it was pretty hot but with some overcast and i managed a 12.6 with a 1.77 60' on my DR's, then a 12.5 with a 1.8 something (i usually get consistant 1.84-1.86 with them). Pretty good but then they went away! I had a 14 sec run and they would not hook at all but i gave the crowd a show by not hitting any walls! Today was sunny and hot and the best run i could muster was a 13.1 with a 60 of 2.2. I had three other runs and could not get my 60 even back under a 2.2 or so. I had them at 19 lbs and flamed the heck out of them, then tried just a launch at idle, and even a roll out launch and still couldn't get any grip. Other guys with F1's were killing me on launch. I'm stumped but bottom line, IMO too much money for a drag street tire with poor street wear and garners a 60 around what F1's do, they are finicky as heck, i'm going to slicks, i'm tired of screwing around with them.
