I just got back from the track today. I tried out my drag radials for the first time and had horrible results.

Here was my best pass of the night:
60'-2.10
330ft-5.98
1/8ET-9.09
1/8MPH-80.44

The mods are in my sig. My question is, I'm getting HORRIBLE wheel hop. Are cal-tracs the ultimate solution? My truck was launching hard and the MPH is definitely there, but I couldn't 60' better than a 2.18.

My suspension setup is a 4/6 drop with a flip kit in the rear and doetsch tech shocks. From what I've seen my MPH is good for well into the 13s and 8s(1/8th mile), but even on 26x11.5x16 E/T Streets I couldn't hook at all.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Your MPH is good for 8.5 or so. Thats what I have seen with fullsize trucks.

 

If it matters, the DA was ~1850'

 

Is your tubo installed??

 

No it's just the cammed 5.3L all motor with a 3600 yank torque converter and 3.73 gears.

 

If you could I would go up to a 28" slick... Given the amount of TQ you have the 26" slick is too small IMO..

 

I'm thinking you may be right. I got these ones for $250 brand new and delivered so obviously the price was right. I'm running 16x10 rims so the contact patch shouldn't be the issue either

 

I think it is a lack of side wall, that may be the problem... That is a damn good price so i can't blame you for buying them... Do you still have the overload spring installed?

 

What were you launching at? Did you happen to get any video of the launch?

 

Random.. no Posi? Or your still the one wheel squealer?
