That has gotta be crazy to drive! Let me guess... 9.0'ish at about 165 mph trap speeds on 93 octane?? That is some power to weighr ratio. Mine has 1000 hp, but it weighs almost 3600!

WOW!

I would LOVE to slap on some Hoosier or Mickey 315 drag radials, My 0-60 would be in the mid 3 second range!!

I wish they would handle corners better.


Like I said, you might want to look into a DOT approved autocross or road race type tire. It will be very sticky and handle well. It's not going to hook like a slick, but should be better than what you have.

Being able to hit 60 mph in 1st is usually a good thing for 0-60 times (no up-shift needed). This means you just need to concentrate on getting a decent launch. With 1000 hp and radials, I think your best bet is going to be walking it off the line, not dumping the clutch. Launching at higher rpms is just going to blow the tires off.

I think if you can ease out the clutch and roll into the throttle near idle speed, it might provide better results. You probably have more than enough torque to get the car moving (assuming you don't have any turbo lag down low).

I think you really need to try different techniques and see what works best with your street tires.

Andy, I already have a 315-35-17 DOT GSCS road race tire. They hook worse then my BFG's, but better then my Pirelli PZero road race slicks did.
I need to get some new waste gate springs to turn my boost down further, Even at 10 psi I have almost 600 RWHP and torque. I also cannot not actually do 0-60 while trying to go fast, I cannot control the wheelspin as of yet and have to pull 2nd about 10 feet out to try to stay off the rev limiter.
The reason behind my launch problems is the 3.08 gear and the SPEC 5 cintered iron clutch, it cannot be slipped!

Look at the Toyo RA1's. I have a set of 18"er's and my 4100lbs car post 1.6 60's and that's with me running them at 38psi. It's also in the high 3's 0-60. That's a full auto car that can only stall to about 1000RPM's. These tires hook well and you can drive them everyday. Check out the link below for a video of the car hooking. It's not 1000hp but it has a ton of torque.

The last time I had my '00 SS Camaro at the track it had a 2.35 60' time. It had 35-17ZR315 Goodyear Eagle's on it. I don't remember the exact model though. What ever came stock on the SS, other than the width. That car was basically stock and had 309 RWHP. Hopefully I can get the Z06 to the track and I'll give you some new numbers.

Well then, I'm not sure what to suggest. What BFG's do you have? The G-force TA KD is the stickiest tire in that line besides the drag radials. They hook pretty well in my car, but you have a good 500 hp on me.

I think you have the problem of a fairly heavy car, a ton of power and a manual trans. I think automatic cars are easier to get good 0-60 numbers from, but I still prefer manuals in my hot rods.

I have heard that the Nitto drag radials handle better than the others on the market, but I don't have any first hand experience with them. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as you soon. I'm starting my 122 Magnacharger install and will have torque coming out of my ears. Maybe it's time for me to step up to a 335/35/17. It can't hurt, right?

Andy
