Mate, im pretty sure Chris (GD JET) ran a 10.98 in his commodore on ET streets.

[ratter]

Mick From APS Frankston ran 10.86 on them in his Blown LS1

[black dog]

thanks guys ,,,any idea what pressure there running in the tyres?

[gregaust]

Have run 10.0's on them on 13 psi

[ebxr8240]

Good part with them is you don't need to change the front tyres to crossplys...

[black dog]

thanks fella,s ,,,

just got a set 275-50-15,,,
they hook up well on tha street,,,
keen to try em soon at the trak,hopeing to dip into the 10,s

[FLUB378]

Rob Bertollachi in his XB Coupe streeter has run 9.4's on 7 cylinders on them, from memory Shane Greenberg in the XD streeter has run 9's on them too. Don't know what pressures though

[MaD_KiWi]

11.4 @ 120mph 235/60/15 ET Streets.

They are magic!!

[Rns 13]

Bridge racing in the staes has run 7.9's on them!!

[crochunter]

Where do you buy these from.

[RIPGMH]

Superplus

George Haddad 10.4 in his 67 XR Falcon.
Full weight street car.

[nugget378]

I run 11,5 @125 on them,slicks only gained 0.3,but the engine was going off by then I think,I could never dump the clutch with them,best pressure I found at 12psi

[FRDPWR]

i ran 11.20@127mph, just couldnt get outta the whole in them. 60ft was like 1.9. put a set of full slicks and went 10.50@128. 60ft 1.4

[black dog]

Thats the thing i run a manual and normaly leave the line at 6000rpm,1.54 60ft, so iam keen to see how the street et,s hookup
we are going to the trak on sat,,(nostalgia drags)
see how we go, i have a set of
MT 28*9*15 sliks to take just in case,,,,

Dout you'll be leaving at 6000 with any success,stanger things have happened though,if the chassis works real well maybe,I couldnt even side step at 3000 without smoking them,best way for me was a heap of revs but riding the clutch out and not shock loading them..

yes well there nugget we will see,,,were makeing more power now with this new engine so it going to be fun,,,

the car hooked up pretty hard with the last engine combo with 26*10*15 MT sliks running 11.40,s with 6000+rpm launches,,,

the caltraks and 90,10,s help alot ,,,i think it,s going to be in the tyre pressures to get the ET,s to hook up with the new combo,,

Defiantly Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, George is an M/T dealer.
Car was driven to the track and raced 100% the same way as it’s streeted.
Look out he is fitting a turbo to it, time for some really big H/P.

Good luck with them,I found they needed to be bushfired for me,a smallish burnout never worked.
Thats half the fun though I spose,playing around till you find what works..

[MYWPN]

there are several XR6 turbo guys running into the tens with these, HPF have 2 one runs 10.5 and the other 10.6

[Mr. CVE]

Keep in mind the worlds stickiest tyre, will not patch up a bad suspension setup.
if the suspension does not transfer the weight on to the tyres, then they will not grip. a softer tyre ( full slick) will help more, however it is just a patch, fixing the suspension will help the most. also you may find fixing the suspension and going back to a radial, will result in a quicker ET.
