Have cut 1.64 (dont remember if Ive done better) on my Toyo Proxes, but I did nail a 1.68 and was regularly 1.70s on Michelin LTXs and you see my best ET in my sig.

this is my problem same setup worked fine with my a5k going low 12's 1.70's now ...... not so much, but since plenty of others have run high 10's low 11's i just need to make my chassis work a little better

I started a new thread with suspension setup in mind James . you and I have pretty similar trucks ......exsb and power wise . maybe we will get some thoughts tossed around and get some good ideas

The biggest problem i see with running street tires is the inconsistency that goes with it , too dependent on track prep to expect consistency but a lot of guys have done well with them , though i know you are not going to run them , but a drag radial can net far more than just the 60 ft , a much harder launch can be done with a sticky tire , even if that doesn't net a faster 60 the 1/8 mile time will improve greatly the harder your on the charger when you leave , I got a 7.3 1/8 mile with stock cp3 and stock sticks using this approach along with the rest of the truck being dialed in real well , 60fts were in the 1.56 range .
