best 60' on 245/50-16

[silverz28camaro]

what is the best 60' time someone has been on a 245 series tire. street,dot drag , or slick. doesn't matter.

seeing what i should shoot for and what is possible with the 245 nittos i run. A 1.59 would be awesome but i'm not sure if mine will get much better than a 1.65.

so far a 1.74 is my best, but that was only my second run with my setup i had, and since then i removed 110lbs off the front tires and got an aluminum driveshaft. I have heads and am buying a cam so that will give me more power off the line and we'll see if i have traction issues. I love pulling up to oldcars with 11.5 slick and hole shotting them

I was thinking about getting those tires, but not till my car spins with the 245's. were you spinnin much or did it feel more like a dead hook.

[silverz28camaro]

do you have any pics or vids from you 1.59 launch? do you pull the tires with those 255.
a guy i work with says i'll never pull a tire with a 245........well see

[fraz1le]

No I don't have any with those tires but I don't think I pulled the tires. I'll vid this weekend I'm running on 26 8.5 m/t slicks maybe then but I'm on stock susp. so I doubt it you need a low gear and goo susp.

do you have your front bumper support,sway bar, or anything else to remove weight from the nose?

I have the sway bar removed but thats it for now. I did pull the front left about 3" but it was up and back down so fast you have to really watch the vid to see it.

My best run to date... with a 1.61 60ft... looks like the front came close.. and thats full street weight.

Very close if you get some skinnys they may come off.

ask sarge. he pulls the wheels off with a 245. wider is not always better

[whazuupgto]

What air pressure have most of you guys had sucess at.. on the nitto's 245/60/16 drag radials.. or what should I run in mine I guess is what I'm asking... car is an automatic

[silverz28camaro]

i had 37 psi 2 weeks ago and ran a 1.71 60' on a 60 degree night. I lowered them to 25 and managed a 1.686
