Tired of Evos Launching on mE!
 

OK ive decided the rearend needs an upgrade badly......... I am on stock gears and tires with a 350 tread rating. Now all my friends have the M/T ET Streets on their cars, and they hook like crazy! These guys are getting 1-2+ car jumps on me from the takeoff......but they ALL have gears too! So even after they get the jump on me, I cant keep up with the damn gears! When I spray the car against them, I end up passing them by in 2nd gear but were just racing 1/8th mile! My car sucks from a dig apparantly. I have been cutting 2.2 60fts but I think im am getting alot better.....

I want the tires but will they break my rear? The other guys have been launching about 3000-4000rpm on theirs every weekend with no problems. I launch about 2700 and its been working out. I got beat by an 05 GT with ALL the bolt ons and those drag radials. Its only because I cant get traction!:wallbash: I am gonna buy an engine here this week I think and then Ill put some tires on it. They all have the 275/40/17s, but someone told me you get better contact patch with the 245s on the stock wheels???

Also, I ended up getting beat by a 550whp Evo w/30psi and spray.......Then, on motor by a bolt on GT with 3:73s and D/Rs......Then by a stock brand new Sti (yes the ugly one) and this is all because my car sucks from a dig.......If they ever had organized roll racing, Id be the first in line.......

Dont feel bad losing to a 550awhp Evo, I saw a 600hp Cobra get ripped by one. The Cobra was on a ET street too. As for losing to the STI...they are an 1/8 mile car, you would run him down in the 1/4. Most AWD cars with a good driver will jump away on the launch even if you are on tire, but it wont be as bad.

I got the 275's and theres 11" of tread on the ground @ 15psi and hook great launching at 4k. Best of all i'm on a stock rear, and a stage 3 clutch and havent had any problems yet. I wouldnt go as far as getting M/T ET streets unless your puttin out 400+, but thats my opinion.

As for losing to the STI...they are an 1/8 mile car, you would run him down in the 1/4.


Why do you think they are 1/8 mile cars. They trap around 106+
Get some dr's and they wont be leaving on you anymore. I ran a evo the last time I was at the track and smoke him, .058 light with a 1.74 60" and went a 12.31@111, He only had a 1.93 60" and went a 13.03@108. On motor he would have beaten me but he still would have not 60" with me.
