Tried to shoot for 11s on street tires, but the ricers driving through the waterbox didn't help at the midnight test 'n tune at NPR.

28psi on the stock Goodyear F1s with 11k miles on the car. Shifted at 6000rpm. 93 octane. 2-3 second burnout to clean the tires and warm them a little in the 45F ambient conditions.

2.08 - 60'
5.51 - 330'
8.180 @ 93.99mph - 1/8th
10.43 - 1000'
[email protected] - 1/4

My best is in the sig, 12.14@118mph. That was done in 90F heat with great traction and a 1.95 sixty foot, shifting at 6500rpm.

I'm thinking about some drag radials, but I'm worried for my half shafts. I have a Billetflow brace, though. Which drag radials are easy on the rear end? I heard Nittos were pretty bad. I was leaning towards the BFGs.

Lastly, what's the highest MPH for an unported Eaton, and what pulley setup did they have?
