- Thread starter IDWALKU
- Start date
i agree radials are better, but i guarentee you WILL break that stock drive shaft after a while, i ran like that about 10-15 times leaving at 5500 and it finally broke lol twisted up like a pretzel
Great 1/4 and '60 times! Agreed the stock shaft is on borrowed time, ask me how i know lol.
How long will these last DDing on them?
Thats exactly what i was getting at
Ok im on my phone so i am going to try my best to answer some questions
Car has 200 + passes on it 170 maybe more on a 28x10.5 slick
Im much more in love with the radials (no sway)
My friend sends me picture of a driveshaft broken every day
I HAVE A WEDNESDAY DRIVESHAFT DAMNIT
yes its stock manifold
Rear seat was out because i never drilled the holes for the rear bars for the cage
Pass seat out because ... Well because racecar .. (Just kidding put it back in for the gf on the ride home)
Im a little stupid so i have no problems riding around on my slicks on the street . One of the reason why i went to a radial is i was chewing threw slicks and they didnt work as well on the street as the radials do ... My cars built to hook on a street in dirt
I can tell you after scary experience of driving slick in the rain . I was scared poopless when i had to drive in the rain on the radials .. I can tell you it wasn't a issue

Car is hauling ass! Adam's tunes are top notch, always hearing good things about him.
Where is the slip at? 1/8th ET and MPH?
Where is the slip at? 1/8th ET and MPH?
Yes but i was being hard headed and lazy and didnt feel like driving to the air tank to put more pressure in ... I could have stiffened the front up to slow the transfer down . I was just so affraid that id lose this magical setup of hooking that i didnt want to change a damn thing
I can get you a slip tomorrow i think not sure 1/8 was 7.100 mph was 96
I think wont know till tomorrow
Dont know how high quality these are they're saved off my phone

Mine lasted a whole race season with driving them on the street, to and from the track, as well as racing on average every other weekend. I don't know how many miles but you can kind of get the ideal. Plus they are good to drive in the street they are DOT approved……the tire just says not for highway use!!! lol
How the hell do you bog while launching at 7500rpm?
Nice launch and nice video. Sounds like your stock clutch is what's keep the driveline in check. It's slipping on the launch just enough to not shock everything and send pieces of the drivetrain all over the track. Do you know if the rev auto tune has access to remove clutch protection?
Yeah he most likely came off the clutch way too slow, or pulled throttle as he was coming off. You could get the same effect of that launch by reving to 3500 and just popping it. With all that traction, you need revs. But you also need to load the drive line and just pop off the clutch when its time.
For these passes this past weekend it has mcleod rxt in it ... Its a 3.73 car . And my foot dosent come off that floor from the start to the finish
Interesting. In the video, it sounds like the clutch slips just a little bit on the launch. How many miles/passes are on the rxt so far?
i put 7 or so on it . like i said this is just one video of it bogging . i have plenty of video of it only slightly bogging .
