Robo: Are you planning that high 11/low 12 on street legal rubber or drag slicks? What power are you getting with the 2535?

My car wont be ready for a few weeks still :P. With my new combo i am capping the power at about 260rwkw, i have been told that it should make about 280rwkw, but i have a std bottom end and would like to keep it in one piece for a little while :lol:.

I ran 12.55 on my normal street Sumituno's. Now ive got much stickier rubber (Toyo Ra1's which are street legal) and with a bit more power, i reckon i could go close. My 60's before where 2.0/2.1, if i can bring that down to 1.8, thats 0.2 a difference, generally you can double it over the whole 1/4, say 0.4. And more power, it will go close

:P That's a top effort!

Well remind me to line up behind you, as i am hopeless at drag racing :(, but occationally like to have a punt. I much prefer track work, as my car has been set up for that :).

robos , i d love to hear how you go with those toyos. im in the middle of trying to work out which way to go with tyres - run drag radials or semi slick tyres. i wouldnt mind coming down on friday . how much stickier is the drag strip compared with the street? would i crack a 12 on 245/40 dunlop lemans with 277rwkws??? probably be wasteing my time hey?

Well i dont know how good those Lemans are, but for example, on the street my sumitunos would spin every time in second gear when hitting boost. First gear is useless. But on the track i could actually get traction in first gear under full throttle. With the amount of rubber that goes on the surface during the drags, traction is heaps better than the street. If your not too abrupt with the clutch and power on take off, you might be surprised with the power you can get down. I was consistantly doing 2.0/2.1 with my street setup which i run the stiff Tein suspension.
