Hi guys,
I have a 74 mini tubbed dart with 10" wide rims. Car is a 500ci methanol big block with 14:1 compression, power glide trans and ford 9" with 3.2 gears. Running a single stage 200 shot nx nitrous kit so the car is making around 750hp. Weighs in at around 3600lbs.
My question is what tyres should I run, a radial or a slick?
At the off street drags (non preped drag strip, reaction time doesn't count)
Natural aspirated on 275 60 r15 et street r. The car ran 10.6 @ 131mph, 1.7 60'
On gas on the same tyres it ran, 10.1 @139.5mph, 1.8 60" (not stalling it up or using the trans brake or it just blows the tyres off it.)
What do guys suggest? If I can get it to hook of the trans brake it will be fast.
