[QUOTE="Fourcam330, post: 4004006, member: 24445"] Yes weight does make a difference, as does gearing. However I never said the car should pull a 1.60 as someone inferred, I wholly believe a 1.70 is possible (possibly a hundredth or two lower) with a redline dump on properly heated tires at a well prepped track. I saw a bone stock Lightning (it actually had lowering shackles) pull a 1.69 on ET Streets at NRP FFW 6 years ago. There's obviously a lot left on the table between gears/suspension and launch rpm, looking at the short time/mph vs. the stock tire passes makes me think the car definitely bogged with the ET Streets. It's a myth that a car will trap lower with slicks/ET streets than on street radials. If that happens with the swap to stickier meats then something else in the setup (ie. gearing, susp., increased launch rpm) needs to be changed to make use of the extra traction and/or not bog. A stickier tire means more actual HP applied to the pavement which will always net a higher trap. Torque deficient/3350-3450lb N/A stock longblock 4.6 Cobras can pull 1.7X 60's with 3.27 gears and ET Streets. [/QUOTE]
