Looking for input 1/4 mile ET

[DF19RS3]

Seems my ET should be lower . Full weight 2019 PP car 691 WHP , 3.55’s, on a 295/35-20 Nitto DR with a 10r trans. I did have some pretty good wheel hop. I am addressing that this weekend.

10.90 ET
135 MPH
1.75 60'
104 MPH at the 1/8th with a 7.16

60ft is slow. Example my stick shift car went 9.87 at 137 with a 1.31 60ft. Need to leave harder, converter and better tire needed.

I am considering going to a bias ply drag radial on a set of dedicated wheels for the track. I am not really looking to do a converter as of yet but yeah I can how that would make a big difference as well. Thanks for your input.

MPH is great. You're losing ET in the first 60'. Get that down like mentioned above.

I was getting really bad wheel hop even with the BMR lock outs. I may be switching to Kelltracs posi lock system this weekend. I actually think I may have slid the subframe over a bit as well. I have all new bolts and also Kelltracs bolt kit. Hopefully this part of the problem will be solved before I have to put it away for the winter months.

2 tenths for every tenth dropped in the 60. With a converter and tire you could drop it to a 1.35, that would be a 10.10 pass.

You're not on a 2nd Gear leave right now are you?

I was not in 2nd. I didn't have my advance/stability track turned off either. So a few people think I may have more left in the car with that turned off as well. I had it in drag mode with traction control off but I for whatever reason neglected to turn the advance track off.

If I can get it down under a 10.50 I would be OK with that considering what I do with this particular car. So hoping a drag pack, some suspension work and a few tweaks it will be there. The other passes all had consistent MPH but the 60 was all over do to the wheel hop.

10r80 car you need to go with a 17” drag radial. Et Street R is a great choice. I have ran both the radial and bias ply on mine. I was consistently a tenth slower on the bias ply tire.

135 is enough to go 10.40s in our cars. Those tires aren't the best. Put a 305/35/20 Mickey Et Street SS on it. I went 9's with the 305/35/20. While a 17's will be better, the 20's can work.
If you have a set of wheels for thre track only, Mickey has a new 29/11.5-20 Bracket Radial

10.40 is slow for 135. 17 et street r all day over a 20in ss. Go for exceptional, not typical.

I didn't say it wasn't. He said if he can get under 10.50, he would be happy.
