Hey boys. I know this topic has probably been beat to death but I have a quick question. I have been going to the strip a couple times lately and I am less than satisfied with the 60' times I've been getting.
The car with gt40p's, explorer intake, xe270, LT's, offload H, 3.73s, tubular upper and lower control arms, short shifter, and spec stage 1 doesn't seem to run anything below a [email protected] best 60' time I can recall was something of the 2.1 range. I was thinking about putting on a set of drag radials to FINALLY get me into the 13s..my main question is will my stock t5 handle the launch with the sticky tires? I don't power shift EVER with it. and also how much would a stickier tire improve the time slips I'm getting. I've been pretty consistently in the low 14s with no traction period in first gear and highly limited traction in second. is this the missing piece of the puzzle to finally getting a 13 second time slip? HELP!
