Very nice #'s I'd go with MT Drag Radials..what tires did you have on for that run...

I have Nitto 305/35x18" but I also am using a stock converter, I only have a Vararam, KOOKS Headers, and tune by Cartek...

I bracket race so RT is important, so I Deep Stage (this takes off about 1 tenth (my guess) and my 60' is 1.88 - 1.95 my best run so far is 11.98 @ 117 mph

I know if I go with a 3200 converter I'll see 11.65 but will need better tires like MT or BFG... right now I'll get a full season from my Nitto 555 Drag Radials..

If I want to shoot for a "best" ET I'll stage shallow, and make the car as light as I can (passengers seat, and drag pack wheels etc... I might see an 11.8 in good air without touching the motor... but for now I have to put my effort into going rounds in our CC @ Englishtown...

With that kind of power you will need either Mickey Thompsons (if driving to/from the track) or Hoosiers (if trailering).
They both come in a couple of 18" sizes that should fit nicely depending on which rim you're using.

I do trailer it. I finally bought CCW Classics they came with brand new Toyo Proxes TQ's. It was like driving on ice all night.

Do yourself a favor and get some cheap 17" track rims with some tires that will have a sidewall.

I tried the M/T 275/40/17, they were better but still couldn't hold.

That tire is good for single digit ETs.

What's your launch technique? Tire pressure? Rear end ratio? 133 is a good trap speed-what is your ride/mods?
