The biggest slicks that work for us are the M&H Nostalgia's 12.0 - 16. They are 32 dia. Smallest rim would be a 10" rim.

My guess is 102mph. ET will 14.2 without slicks on a 2.5 60' time.

You will go quicker by adding as much weight as you can AFTER the rear axle. Some have actually poured lead shot into their hitches. $$$.

two weekends ago i pulled a 13.9 @ 102, sleeping at the light and spun the tires hard in 3rd gear. if the track was better and i had been awake i think i could have made mid 13's.

i agree with those that are saying moderate throttle off the line on the stockers, but hell, mat it down if you got the slicks :eek:

good luck, im heading to the track this weekend too. stockers and clamps for me :D

So I am guess the stock wheels wont work then? I saw a pic of casper with slicks all the way around on stock wheels, what size where thoes?

14.9x's all day with H2's. I didn't build boost, just floored it from idle. No wheel spin for the most part, just chirps.

Well I am getting new wheels & tires and I want to go with the 285/65/18 terra grapplers, I herd they dont last long but they are soft so if they will help I dont care.

I put on 305/17 Terra Grapplers back in NOv/Dec and they still look new, guessing around 8 - 9K miles on them too. I really like these tires.

i have a 13.02 with a .454 reaction an a 2.45 60ft at 107mph. On 35's. My biggest killer was reaction time. Sleepin at the lights. 35's at 24psi.

You killer is your 60ft time. Reaction time doesn't effect your ET or 60ft, you could have sat there 10 seconds and your et would be the same as it would if you cut a perfect light. If you want to try and shave 10th off your time try shallow staging, where you barley trip the bulb you will get more rollout before tripping the beam and have a little better 60ft time and get you in the 12's..;)

your truck would be into the 12.8x no problem with a few tenths off your 60'
