Best Drag tire for asphalt / no prep racing

M/T ET Streets. Also worried about wet pavement.
Stop worrying, and try the Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials.
It's funny reading my post from 2018...
I see how potentially catastrophic nitrous on the factory dual plane 6bbl intake could be...
@moparcrazy or any other nitrous users, correct me if I'm wrong, but I would think a single plane intake would be much safer for nitrous than a dual plane intake??
Or is it just that guys running nitrous are running single plane intakes for the higher RPM horsepower benefit?
Put another way, do you know anyone who runs nitrous on a dual plane intake?
 
You can run N02 on any intake safely, no problem.
The idea of N02 is to add the HP at a press of a button which works most excellent at high rpm where a single plane works best.
 
16.5X31 et street are my street tires.I have to walk it out in 1st and 2nd is WOT! At the track I use 10.5W MT's.

It’s a beauty to look at in person. Most pictures of his car do not do it justice. Not even close!
 
I do believe that Bob flexner is a fictitious name kumho shill, programmed to put a kumho add in any thread about tires.

Thanks. I just thought someone was being funny, but then I noticed the other post w/link to a Kumho tire.
Pretty clever bot, well-except for the trail tire for "no prep racing" lol.
 
Hoosiers Bias ply racing slicks, better than any drag radial
good on asphalt tracks too,
Good Years on well prepped & concrete surfaces otherwise

if you have to have a DOT,
I used the M/T Drag Radial 315/60/15 ET Street R (? 2005-07-ish)
on my old silver 68 RR went 9.77 @ 135 best N/A
& best of 8.58 @156 on 300 shot, 3520# car, CalTracs
non-prepped T&T July 100* day Sacramento
drove it about 12,000 street miles, they were used up
most the miles were to & from the track (12 miles away)
or to the local cruises, it was babied on the street,
save the rubber for racing
I had probably about 100 passes est.
they sucked *** in any wet conditions, but hooked relatively well in dry
for a DOT style street/drag Radial
never did any huge burnouts, they didn't like getting really hot,
just cleaned/warmed, 14-18psi depending on surfaces
they got slick as **** if too hot, too long a burnout

never was a fan of the Nitto's

I ran my slicks on the street, more than I did anything else
I never took the car out, if a chance of rain anyway
hell this is Calif., we only have like maybe 30-60 days of wet weather here
most years 10-11 months of racing too
I always had some guys come up & say;
"hey those are drag slicks, not street tires"
I'd respond;
"NO, those are my street tires"

it was a different time & era "almost" now

:thumbsup: :lowdown:
What kind of times did you run with the 3x2bbl setup, and was that the STR or the factory 3x2 intake? Nitrous was on a 4bbl intake? Or??
I'm NOT asking about the STR for me, that has already been removed from the list of contenders, and besides the aluminum factory dual plane and the Weiand CrossFlow 6bbl intakes, the latter being the hill I'm "willing to die on", there's the ModMan w/6bbl top, and that's it.
Just asking...:D
