For those if you who drag your sc.. I'm looking at options for skinnies in front and slicks in rear.
I'd like to hear from people who run slicks. Your setup, times and tire size. Where did you get your wheels from. What should I be looking at spending wiz for just wheels.
I have a nat sc300 around the 450 whp range. Still sitting on a w58. But will soon to be changed closer to winter.

if you find something that works for you, im happy to see what it does for you..
but heres what I Can show you -

93 Soarer Auto, Runs were @20psi, just some boring Continental ExtremeContact DW 285/40R17 Rear - 245/45R17 Front, on heavy *** 3piece Wheels.






The one below was with some NT05Rs on 350z wheels 275/40R17 just for the rear.
Definitely felt more planted to the ground(like Velcro), but to the point where I felt like maybe it was slowing me down more than it helped keep the car planted.. Wheels hardly spun though, which I think was part of the reaction time issue for the first time using these drag radials, I was fearful of brakeboosting like I usually do, so I let off the gas - but still got a slightly better 60ft, 1/8th and 1/4, and mph.

but for the cost of drag radials.. I don't think id care one bit if I even got a half second better time, than tires that I use for daily driving. But I did only run once with them on, and perhaps, I could have been a full second faster if I had more experience with them, but I doubt that.

Thank you for your i.put. I'll keep that in mind

Do you know how much power you were at during those runs?

soarer93

probably not much more than 300rwhp - very little has changed since I did my dyno run - only new coilpacks, and perhaps a little adjustments here and there to the AFR mix.
the graph on the dyno was /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ from misfiring at high boost/rpms from cracked coilpakcs - but mild and only noticeable from 17psi+ at the time.. so from the 299.xx it registered at.. maybe 310 ish at the wheels??
