Default Went back to the track...

This time i went with radials, they are 275-60-15, 28" diameter, last time i ran, 15.549 on 20's, spun, this time on radials, dead hook, still a 2.1 60', and got a 14.516@92.87, 1/8TH mile was a 9.309@77, not bad for my mods i guess, stock tranny, converter, and rear, was really hoping for some lower numbers though. I know its all in the 60', i was sure my 60 would be better with these radials but its not, what gives? and no, its not supercharged, lol

You need a converter to see much better 60s than that.

well in that case you just need more power I guess. The tune is good, that's for sure I know. This is a reg cab or ext. cab? You may want to look into 4.10s and a trutrac.

Still good numbers man!! Get those 20's off the front and drop another couple tenths. The DA plays a huge role too. Do you know the temp and humidity level?
