went out tonight in approx. 3300 da ,no wheelspin on launch or 1-2 shift ,track was like glue, had jlt intake and lund e-85 race tune, no other mods and had a best of 11.97@ 118 against a best of 11.91 @119 stock in better air, but slightly worse 60'..I had 10 more gallons of fuel than I normally carry which probably helped my 60' and hurt my e.t. still a bit disappointed, even counting for extra fuel and crappy air..logged my last run will send it in and see what's up

Define quick spin. Because if you don't see a little smoke that's not enough.

Regular radials don't require getting heated up, it simply doesn't help them, I was hitting 1.9 60 footers with a "light spin", probably 5 seconds on the 20" Goodyears which is pretty damn good considering on the street they spin like frightened Chihuahua's.

Radials definitely need heat. Too much and they don't stick too little and they don't stick. I would regularly pull mid to low 1.8s on street tires once I figured out how much heat to put into the tires.

You mileage will vary depending on the radial. ;)
The Goodyears on my 20's that came from Ford didn't benefit at all from a typical warm up. Then again it also depends on if somebody rolled through the water with radials where it won't matter what you do because the meathead in front of you blew his tires off because he was riding through the water his front tires left.
I try to line up behind cars running slicks, they leave a nice groove to follow through.

I have the same car as you, hopefully I should be hitting the track in a week or so, but testing the drag mode on the street I have noticed something similar. In sport plus you pass those triple digits a lot smoother than on drag mode. As soon as i go ill post and see if I notice the same.
But it does feel weird when you hit the triple digits on drag mode...

Interesting. Makes me feel a little better about my 11.8@120 personal best with same mods as you. Although my car is a 3.15 rear car, not 3.55.
It's getting hotter outside so hopes of great DA out West are gone for now!
Im going to try and hit the track again this Wednesday night.

Great runs to all...
I can not wait to run mine. I think I will wait till the temps are a little more reasonable. I do want to run it stock first (engine mod wise) then compare.

Going to GLD in Union Grove Wisconsin tomorrow if the weather holds out, only 78f, not sure what DA will be, physically I believe they are 755ft, last run the DA was around 1500.
Still haven't found a place to test a 1/4 mile run with adv trac off but the car is driving otherwise perfect knock on wood. Can't wait till tomorrow afternoon!

yeah i'm looking forward to a cooler day to run as well, nothing jiving up weather/workwise.. anytime in near future, thinking about long tubes,cat deletes or lighter rims next, but really want to see more gain from the e-85 in decent weather or I may dyno tune. its weird i'd normally be getting drag radials now,but i'm hooking so well I don't think they would help

I had a Lund tuned auto 14 GT/CS with cobra jet, big mono blade, x pipe, and 3.15’s that would run 12.1’s off idle on stock 245’s Nero’s. Track is 1500 feet and trap speed 115-116 mph. This 18 GT with just the 93P tune feels faster.
