Drag Radials

Recommended Posts

Anyone have any pictures of their truck with some 295/45/17 drag radials? I am thinking about getting a set of 4 and wondered if they would look too small with a 2/4 drop? Also a little concerned about my rpm going thru the traps in 3rd.

There's a guy on pt.net with some M&H 390/40R17 on his dragstars. They are the tallest I think you'll find. I'd personally like a little wider wheel than 9.5 for those tires but for the price of racestars compared to a custom wheel that combo is pretty tempting and looks damn good.

Hear's a couple links to some threads with pics.

Thanks, I think don't mind the look of the 390 when it is just on the rear but could never do it being awd. I like the look of the racestars or have seen some raceline renegade 6 that look decent as well, just want to get that 9 sec pass.

Ljms stage 2 with a Vic jr, 80e swap with Fti 3600, arp hardware, ls9 gaskets, s475 with the larger ar's, twin 38 jgs gates, fuel blah blah meth, 2 step, thinking about putting a brake in her and getting her lighter.

Sweet, stock bottom end? I ran stock bottom end with a s472 and went like 10.8 with the gate about pinned shut. Its tough to get weight out without giving up any luxuries. I would lve to talk to you more about your setup sometime. good luck on your journey

Do you know what kind of wheel HP you were pushing on your stock bottom end when you ran that 10.8. Also what was your 60' and mph. I got a s476 on a stock bottom making 708 rwhp and have no idea what kind of e.t. that would be good for if i was able to get some traction. Right now I'm running 305/50R20 Nitto 420's which do OK on the street if I'm at about a 50 roll. lol I'd like to get in the 10's if I ever get a better wheel/tire combo and take it to the track.

Not off hand it never dynos well with the front shaft out my truck is awd, It had a s472 on it and was right around 20lbs of boost, the only other thing it had is a tick turbo cam and springs. I have 285/50/20 420s and have cut a best of 1.60 60ft but if the boost is turned up it is 1.8x I would have to look at some old slips but want to say it was around 128mph.
