Whether someone chooses to do it on a traditional street tyre instead of a Mt Radial is their choice I guess 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Congrats again !! But there is a question that I think a few of us would like to know, Other than 255 et's.. 98 or e85 or other? Just a damn fast time and even more impressive out of a 35/40

So would this be best time thus far with a 35/40?

Love threads like this... it's like pulling teeth just to get any info. Might as well not bother in the first place.

I know OVL087 went 9.95 @ 138mph Andy (OVL087) went 10.0 on 235/60R15 MT ET street radial, then put the slicks on and went 9.95 That wasnt on pump. He always runs C16 at the track. He has a girly 17 psi tune for the pump/street tune. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In fact I know for 100% certainty that if this thing has a GT35 that the power level simply isn't possible on 98, which is why ollies car runs E85, and even then with 30psi and E85 only run 133mph and its a featherweight. Not taking anything away from the effort, don't take the negative from all the positive, 9's on radials driven home is a feat few have ever achieved regardless of fuel 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

To be legal you need to be speed and load rated, MT ET street radials have no load rating on the side wall.

Yeah, I was just checking that Just because it is "DOT" approved doesn't make it legal in Aus. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
