A couple decent passes thursday spinning on a 275 radial

L33 19-20lbs 11 degrees, pump 93 and meth. Going back to slick, and get back to low 1.4s. Track too inconsistent for a radial.

Great passes!

What was your best 60' on slicks? Are you seeing MPH increase with the radials? I wouldn't be so quick to ditch the radials just yet...

Generally speaking the radials like traction bars to be at a more substantial upward angle as well. Maybe you could make some adjustments there to help it hook off the line.

This truck always picks up mph with hooking. The radials were hand me downs, and they were shot. I got new stiff sidewall slicks to try over my previous wrinkle walls. I did adjust bars, and it did go 1.44 on a 275 pro radial leaving at 4-5lbs. I can say leaving at 6-8 on a slick should go 6.1 at 112ish
