Need tire advice for 145mph+ in 1/2mile (wanna go fast event)..i only found r888 to fit the 16" rim 205-45R-16
Any suggestions?
 
It's a link to notify that user that he is being discussed in a thread. He is a guy with a lot of high hp fwd experience. I think he does salt flat racing in his 1000hp 4g63 fwd. Maybe pm him or something if you want some advice. He can no doubt point you in the right direction.

I I appreciate the help I truly do I have until October 25th to get my car done twin plate clutch LSD axles and tires everything else is done we will see who has the fastest front-wheel drive on that day I hope it's my DSM
 
The posts are much too old. I need somebody in 2017 that has a fast front wheel drive car and possibly has driven a half mile wanna go fast event
 
Hoosier and MY, doesn't guarantee them in 1/2 mile against blowouts..the 1/4mile is different than half mile tire abuse..im going with toyo R888..the 200mph Integra uses
You threw me off when you said you plan to go 145mph, that's a little slow for a highly modified 1/2 mile car. I went 173 when my DSM made around 750, so if you make around 650 in a FWD that'll put you around the 160+ MPH range. At those speeds it's important to have at least an OEM wing on the decklid and adjust the rake of the car so the nose is down slightly.

I was being humble

Who can help me with ECM LINK tuning.
My 90 GST, at 22.8lbs boost is pulling alot of timing and knock sensor is .080v.

I hear the 2nd gen knock sensor is less sensitive.

Is my 1629.00cc enough fuel?
Should I try colder heat range plugs?
I wanted to run on pump gas 93octane

Pump gas is your limit and probably causing the knock and timing pull. Only way to eliminate is to turn timing down and or boost. And I believe the 2g knock sensor is different and won't work right. I think it works off different a frequency.

I keep reading it is different part # but same connector and the 2G is less sensitive..im going to play with boost tables but I don't understand what to plug in cells..
