I launch around 5600-5800 on my 23x7.5x15 M&H's

Unless you have your motor mounts done, I wouldn't advice dumping it from anything above 5k. Dump it from like 3.5-4k and give it hell!!!

I have the rex inserts for the topper and lower mounts and they work just fine launching at a high rpm.

That's how I managed a best 60' of 1.813

I'm trying to get someone to host the slip.

Yeah but if he has NO motor mount work, then he could possibly tear them up with a redline launch...

So either do your motor mounts or launch softer...

boostaholic · 12-03-2003, 06:59 PM

I definitely agree with you blackdragon...there is no way in hell I would launch that hard without solid-filled motor mounts or solid inserts.

IMHO I wouldn't run slicks unless I had one or the other.

Evil Srt · 12-03-2003, 10:33 PM

I am not going to run slicks, dont want to risk it.

BlackDragon · 12-03-2003, 10:34 PM

get drag radials then, they are easier on your car

Yeah, there's alot of us crazy mo' fo's here in Texas. By the way one of our friends borrowed our slicks to make a pass in his SRT and he managed to cut a 1.7XX and ran a 13.000@104. He told us after his run he didn't rev it to redline, but of course he has a little bit more modifications than we do. I was damn impressed it being his first time using slicks and all.

Yes, I want a MOPAR TATOO also!

Yesterday, (at Hallsville) I pulled a 13.684 at 103.63 and launched at 800rpm. I got a 60ft of 2.163. It was the last run of the day and I was having problems getting the tires to heat up (burn out)! I tried in 2nd and was just glad to get smoke. I wasn't even thinking about the run.

BTW, I was only pushing 13 psi.

Did you guys finally get a boost controller, or do you still think Stage 1 psi is enough?

23x7.5x15"

Launched at 5,000rpm

Not under boost when i launched.

Did not spin grabbed HARD and bogged a little for maybe 1/2 a second.

Forgot to shift at end of track hence the 13.000 @ 102. Oh it was a 12sec pass, but i f---ed it up. Im still pissed about that. My 22"ers had no more than a 13.000 in em they spun and were to small. I ran 1.8's on them.

Wonder what kind of times youll get with 6" wide slicks?? Keep me posted if they dont spin at all maybe ill get a set.
