First time at the drag strip, interesting results

[BullittBoy]

. Plan is to get the steeda stop the hop ultimate handling kit along with some forgestar 17x10 with either a 555r2 or MT et street r

Good deal. Either of those tires will work well for you. I use the MT's @20lbs and they hook great.

Is it worth going with the beadlocks there a fair bit more expensive redline360 has them for 760 a piece, more power and boost is in the future

Go with the beadlocks to eliminate tire slip down the road when you add lots more power.

The other plus to beadlocks is, you can mount and dismount your own tires easily without the aid of a tire machine.

Nope.

Rules were changed a while back at most tracks, not an issue these days until you start going real fast

Changes to the Street Legal program will allow racers with 2014 and newer OEM model-year production cars to run as quick as 9.00-seconds and/or 150-mph (5.65-eighth-mile).

Hey that is good back up. I mentioned it since the OP mentioned Tesla Model S Plaid as an option which supposedly is a 9.23 seconds at 155 mph. Which is over the 150MPH threshold. To get an S550 to go that fast it might be financially better to go with a soulless EV that still has good street manners and no mods needed.

Nope.

At what horsepower level should someone consider getting beadlocks?

When you are spinning the rim inside of the tire. They're basically a cosmetic item for most people.

Street tires will never hook at a drag strip. Your times are decent IMO

Im gonna need either an ess g3 or a hellion low mount, so I was planning on using the avid tuning device with a wendgerd pcmtec flex fuel tune with a e content sensor, so i got big plans. Its either that or get a Tesla plaid or the cheapest option a zx14 as im all about saving where I can but unfortunately the need to feel greater g forces is overpowering that

I can tell you a few things about dragging a ZX-14. Although it was some years ago, I had an 08' at stock wheelbase and bolt on's. My PB was a 9.57@151 on touring tires, foot shifting and at stock wheelbase. 6.2@120mph in the 1/8. 1.65 was my best 60'.

I MISS my 14!!! I will have another!

I've been 9.0 at 150 with a Procharger p1sc, stock engine and 6r80.

Wow that's insane, especially since you can get those for only like 6k used right now. I cant even imagine what a turbo zx14 is capable off

Probably not as quick at stock wheelbase but with a faster trap for sure.

I think you could be heading down a long rabbit hole. I wanted my car to run 11s. I got my wish with better tires and my grandson driving (he weighs 100lbs less than me). I was tempted to go further with a new intake, down pipe and upgraded turbos. But, I told my boys they could do that when they own the car.
