good slick/ launching ?

[fastaseagle]

what is a good slick to run on a fwd, or street/dot slick. what rpm are you guys launching your fwd's. whats a good 60 foot for street tires?

Hoosier DOT drag radial is basically an ET street so thats a good DOT slick. I launch my car at 3800rpm but thats on a BFG DR, so I could launch a little higher on a slick. Good 60' time for FWD on a DR would be low 1.9s. On a regular street radial 2.0 would be fantastic.

ok cool. the car went a 13.9 with a 3.3 60ft, spun alot i guess.

3.3s 60' time? I can seriously run on foot faster than that, no lie. Are you sure it wasn't a 2.3 60' time. That sounds more resonable for a FWD car and its still not a good launch. I've seen cars basically stall off the line and still pull better than 2.7s 60'.

thats what the guy before me ran he was running 18 inch wheels with a 35 profile tire, said he spun in first and second, kept letting off and then back on and kept spinning, 3.3 is shitty though im used to awd, 1.7-1.8 60fts so :thumbdown
