180* if looking for et,should still have no problem driving back.Lots of guys try to run in 150 to 160 range for consistency and find out 10* hotter will pick car up.

JakeB23:
Just an FYI, my car ran - 1.199, 1.200 and a 1.199 60' this weekend. On 33 x 10.5 MT's

Lost in the third round by .005 super pro..

My Lazy .026 didn't cut it. 

Frontenginedragsters:
 This thread has great information in it.
Can you guys submit updates from the 2015 season?

JrFuel Hayden:
Well, we run the Goodyear 31x12x15 D2585 tire on 12" wide rims, in our Heritage all iron SBC 870 hp JrFueler, weighing 1435 lbs with driver.
We run 7.0's with 1.01 to 1.03 sixty foot times, running 5 1/2 to 6 1/4 tire pressure, depending on track conditions.
Our last Div 7 and CHRR we ran 33x12x15 Goodyear with a bigger number gear 5.13, with a best of 1.03 60', and 7.03, 187.44 mph.
It's all about your total combo, the 2015 NHRA Comp Elim Champion, Craig Bourgeois, runs 29x10.5x15 MT with 5.13 gears running a best of .956 sixty's with a looser converter than I run, and may have to click it early when he hits his 10,600 high rpm chip. But I think that works for him at National event prep tracks.
BTW I still have some 31x12x15 [ the lightest at 22.6 lbs] and 33x12x15 Goodyear slicks that I special ordered, because GY has them on the "inactive" list.
 I hope this info helps.

Thanks for the update.  :)
I will get ahold of you in early spring and see if you still have some of the tires left for sale.

Thanks: Matt
