Switching from DR's to Slicks


CRAWDAD

Recommended Posts

I will be switching from MT DR's to MT slicks, How much should I Pick up?

 

The improvement would be in the 60' which in turn will help the ET. I know you can just about double the amount of time that you pick up in your 60' to your ET. If you pick up .1 in your 60' you should pick up .2 in your ET.

 

My current best

60' is a 1.59

1/8 7.14@99.80

1/4 11.03@129.52

 

If you have made the switch, what were your results?

Yes I do have a 9" under it.

I want to switch to help this think hook. my 60' are very inconsistent which in turn make my ET's all over the place. I bracket race and do pretty good, just trying to make my job easier!

 

Plus I might see 10's in a 4000lbs HOG

Get rid of the poly bushings and go with solid if you want better 60's. Any work up front other than the sway bar removal?

Most add a bigger rear sway bar to keep tires loaded evan.

 

I have an anti roll bar. no sway bar.

 

 

Evolution Performance Bolt On Anti-Roll Bar

$525.00

Evolution Performance, Inc.'s new S197 anti roll bar uses two top axle tube brackets that weld to the axle tubes allowing the rest of the kit to be bolted in place, making it acceptable for classes where welding to the chassis is not allowed.

 

Kit includes all necessary brackets & hardware, splined aluminum arms and a real splined torsion bar (not a piece of moly tubing like many of our competitors). Fits housings with 3" axle tubes ONLY.

Looks like you have good parts suspension wise. Definitely go solid lowers and then play with the settings on the adjustables. I know that the car is heavy, but my best 60' with crap control arms and stock everything else has been 1.61. That was at 3700~ lbs. Get slicks like you said and let it really eat too. Looks like it's just a matter of tweaking a few things here and there.

I've been able to get a 1.48s 60' in the Marauder with the Mickey T drag radials (305/45/18), yielding a 10.4s quartermile. This is in the same ballpark others have gotten with the same tires, and as well as with 10.5" slicks.

 

I do have suspension work done to the rear of the car, but nothing major. Adjustable shocks, larger swaybar, control arms, etc.

Did you just type 10.4s? Has it picked up that much? The stick is what keeps him from getting to the 1.4s on the drag radials.

Here is a list that I copied from a gt500 forum. As you can tell My 11.03@129.52mph and a 1.59 60' is very respectable with these cars. I don't know who has slicks and who doesn't. I do know most have a few mods that I don't. Lower pulley, throttle body and elbow, heat exchanger with dual fans, and a customs dyno tune(not mail order like mine). or what type of gas they are running. I use 93 octane, then I threw in some lucas octane booster from Meijer's. My super charger is UNPORTED

 

 

 

These cars have tons 0f potential with the Eaton, but just not a lot of folks really pushing the envelope with this blower. Just like with the Terminators, it's just so easy to throw on an aftermarket blower and get an "easy" 620+ RWHP, that many folks don't take the time and trouble to properly prepare an Eaton setup for track performance.
