That sounds like you are making progress..My car runs 7.13-7.25 depending on weather and on a M/T radial at that.. I used to run slicks, but I am hooked on the radials now..In the beginning, I lost about a tenth in my sixty foot but I have managed to find it back...The car has a 1.507 sixty foot on radials and a 1.499 on slicks...The best et I ever had was on radials and It actually picked up alittle mph.

slicks 29.5x10.5x15 M/T
radials 295/65/15 M/T ( about 29.9" tall)

I am going to spray the car for the first time next weekend on the radials...so we will see what happens. :wink:

That is cool...Make sure you put plenty of heat in the tires...People around here told me to do a couple of long burnouts and then, all you would have to do is "dust them off" (no more big burnouts).......WRONG....I tried it their way and did it my way and picked up a tenth in my 60 foot times...I have found that these tires like the heat...but you only get about 20-25 good passes out of them before they start to fall off.
