    Closer to 11's

    So went to the track with my new MT drag radials P305/45R18 mounted on GT500 wheels. The fitment is perfect keeps the tires off the shock and inside the fender wells. With the tires at 18psi car dead hooked off the line but wobbled a little on the big end and freaked me out so I lifted, it would have been fine if I stayed in the gas. So I only got a solid 1/8 mile run

    reaction--- .5671
    60ft------- .1.7347
    330ft------ 5.0189
    1/8 ET----- 7.7430
    1/8 MPH--- 89.24

    Using http://www.wallaceracing.com/8th-quarter.php that would be a
    12.16 at 110.66 mph. I don't think my conservative street tune will crack the 11's without installing the headers and PSRI I have in waiting so you stock block Florida guys are safe for now

    I didn't want to say anything until you did... Isn't that PSRI shiny? That's going to be awesome when you get that and the headers on!!!

    I accidentally had my tire pressure at 15 psi and got my best run---same tire set up--heat them and go for it--they only raised 2 psi on return --checked before each run---you may want to try that---....got a tenth better each time--quit for the day with my sig. ---still plenty there to play with some more----

    That 1/4 mile estimate sounds dead right accurate to me. My times - 1.735 60' 7.880@88.89 1/8 mile resulted in 12.37@109.

    If there is a wobble something is WRONG. I have run 17-18psi w/ a trap of 117mph with no wobble. I have spoken to dozens of other who run the same MT and all have reported no wobble with traps up to 130mph.

    Are you using the MTT-3786R ET Street Radial 305/45R18?

    IF so figure out what is wrong, bent wheel, square tire, bad track, improper mounting on hub, etc.

    Yep those are the tires I mounted and roadforce balanced them myself the rims are true and the tires tested fine. Car only did it the 1st time. On the 2nd run I lifted the guy in the left lane was sliding into my lane probably 100ft out but still hit 105 mph at the end and the car felt fine. I blame it on the track and/or a freak wind gust it was pretty windy. I took those two run as a sign and called it a day
