What size slick does everybody run, and whats a good cheap wheel. And post drag setups if you'd like. IM sure this is a dead horse but its always nice to see new setups. I have a 2001L 4lb, ftvb, chip, jlp air, mac catback, roush suspension-and before the season starts i will have my blower ported. Hopin for sum mid 12's this year at the least. By summer i plan for longtubes and low 12's hopefully. Just a lil info incase any of those mods would change my recomended tire size. thanks!

 

I run a 30x10.5x 15 ...... but my truck is also not stock.....

 

Yes Blown is running the "BIG BOYS" set up

You'll find most of us slow 11 and 12 second L's run 28x10x16
I use Hoosiers Full Racing Slicks C07 compound, on American Racing 16x8 Rims (your better off w/ a 10" rim of course)
But actually lots run 8" rims, you can get these for @ 100.00 ea

But there's nicer 10" chrome ones for @ 140.00 ea that I wish I had

I run et streets. 26X11.5X16 and I like them alot. I have a 2000 with the 3:55 rear end, so when I put the slicks on with the smaller tire, I'm up to around a 3:73. It should work out perfectly with my set up. I have them on a spare tire rim. I am hoping for a high 1.7 60 foot out of them in the spring. So far all I've gotten with them is a 1.8.

my truck only runs a 13.8..... I wouldn't consider that "big boys"

 

Micky Thompson ET Streets here in 28x12.5x16 on 16x10 MT wheels. 1.75 60ft so far, and a few nice burnouts

 

Thats what Im hoping for a 1.75 60ft. by the way, nice sig pic.

God Shane

We might have to get a pool going to get you some decent wheels..LMAO!!

Dont be offended..just having some fun!!

 

I just ordered 28X10-16 Hoosier Drag Slicks. I'm looking at the AR Bajas but what size would I be better off with? 16X10 or 16X8?

Thanks!

 

Nittos and pump gas baby....I'll cut a 1.6 short time all day.

im pretty new to the whole lightning thing and racing thing... i took my truck out to 1/8 track on Sunday for first time ever so I didnt have ANY previous expierence or really know what I was doing... i ran a 8.6 which I guess is ok for first time... but i did have a BLAST... i for sure want to do it more often

so if in fact i do go... i will need some slicks... iv never even looked into them before.. so i know nothing....

what is a CHEAP way out??? i saw a post about those 8" black rims for only $100... thats not bad... now what tires should I get with them??

also, how long does a set of slicks usually last? i mean, i guess its hard to say... but on average of 1 decent burnout per run... how many runs u think a set will last

 

Make sure whatever slick you get will conform to the rules of the track events. I think FFW require less than 10.5" slicks for the trucks and my local track doesn't even allow slicks on street nights. I use 28x11.5x16 hoosier dot's.
