Any traction issues? I just changed from NT555R2's to ET Street R's yesterday in order to get ready to take my car to the track Friday for the 1st time.

Yeah a little. On my 9.8 pass it spun out of the hole. But these tires are also close to being done. I’ll be switching to a R next year

My goal is 1.37’s on SS’s. Then I’ll go to the R’s. R’s are 5lb lighter per tire and a thinner more forgiving sidewall.

My SS’s do stick well though.

Is your car heavy?
I'm just trying to correlate MPH to your ET.

147 trap seems like it should be way quicker.. like 9.2s or 3s.

Yeah it’s a full weight 401a car. 4k lbs with me in it. If I repeated my 1.55 60 foot it’s a 9.40 car

I imagine the r is more consistent at 900+ whp too

Oh yeah. Most definitely.

Another car with the same setup G3X/100mm for reference. If OP gets his 60ft into the 1.5’s it will run a similar number. Very nice!

And I will. It’s already been 1.55 so I just need it to make a full pass on that kind of 60 foot.

Needs to 60 foot better to run deeper into the 9s (easy to say, doing it -- different story).

Definitely has the mph for low 9s.
