Hello mustang community,
As the title say i have a full bolts on camned and tuned 5.0 with 4.10 gears. My car is a manual transsmision. I thought it would be a good idea to have the 4.10 gears but now the car just doesnt take off. It just keeps spinning in early gears and there is no way that I can race it. I ran 15 sec on strip with 285s nitto invo tires with the traction off.
Now its time to get them drag radials but i have never thought about radials and I just know nothing about them and what sizes is good for my car. Im thinking about changing the rear tires only so please let me know if anyone know good reasonable priced tires and wheels.
sometimes I street race and slicks might bring some problems cuz its not legal drive on streets. But i will take it for now as a last choice. My car is not close to 800 its somewhere around the 500 and I wanna make sure that radials wont work before I go and make a decision
If you want better times at the track then you'll need a slick, not a drag radial. But with those 4.10's you still won't have good times finishing in 5th gear when you cross the stripe.
4.10s were a mistake.
Don't use drag radials on a manual, you'll break something very soon.
Bias ply slicks are the preferred tire for launching a manual hard.
Well if u think about it I dont wanna get caught driving slicks to racing spots where there is no cops
Also I didnt know that there is some legal slicks in market
Hmm, just can't rev it up and dump the clutch, might have to ease it out a bit and lower the revs. 2005 GT using 305 Nitto DRs and can still blow away the tires with an automatic and detuned to 400 RWHP at the strip, (112 MPH @ 12.4 and 1.8 60 ft.). Using less power at the launch is the ticket...

I have decided on Mickey Thompson ET Street R D.O.T. approved and bias-ply
I need your YES and No guys :whistling:
Also what size wheels and tires, pressure, and burnout needed for a good launch?
Car has size 20 wheels on at the moment
Build an excel spreadsheet and graph your gear choices.
MPH = (RPM x tire circumference) / (transmission ratio * final drive * 1056)
Graph the speeds for each transmission gear and compare for the best final drive, estimated trap speed, etc... This will also let you calculate the difference a change in tire height makes.
