Good Years or Phoniex?
Wow thanks everybody. Great input.I was leaning toward the Phoniex tires.I hear only positive every where else too. I heard 500 passes compaired to Hoosier 300. They have the closests in size I need same all over as my Hoosiers, but 12.4 wide (running 13.5 wide now).
@ oldman rick A little input on stops. I ran a air stop on both the Daytona, and my prior car with this engine, which was a back 1/2 duster with 14/32's. I ran the stop down track, durning 2nd gear. It would just come on, kind of coast (not slow down, not speed up) and then come off before it shifted to 3 rd (727 trans).It worked with 1/8th and 1/4.No hard tire hit either.
The trick was, especially when I went to other tracks, people thought I was lifting,or ask me after a TT if something was wrong with my car.It worked great against 7 second dragesters.
I went 3 rounds at the Summit finals in Ascroft with that car in 2004, the bottom of the index because of altitude was 12:20 (11:99 for S/P altitude adjusted) and I set it up to 12:19.It just plain messes people up!The care ran 10:70's full on.And the MPH stayed the same too.
As for the Daytona, I ran it right at the hit, because it ran close to the 9:90 index.It was all glass 2200 LBS with my 'glide I run now.(9:70's)
I didn't get an answer about running tubes or not?
