no , I was talking about Paul Websters latest pass in his customers car. Paul and I have been building a few cars in England. This is a full car which weighs around 2900lbs with driver. Quite impressive considering the other car mentioned above was gutted and had clutch/LSD
paul was on street tires with the latest run @ 13.8
stock clutch and NO LSD
the times he has in his sig states what he was running
no one can confirm isellem's tires or time slip as none have been posted

I sellem was on open diff as well but an 05 box if i remember, he is the master at that one.
Our tyres were brand new http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=Parada+Spec-2
If we can get it to hook I think 13.3s are on the card, but saying and doing are two different things.

You are incorrect sir,
My car was on full street tires witha 320 tread wear rating. there were a set of toyo T1-Rs a full street compund and tire. It was full weight less the back seat. Our car had a stock clutch as well...
And TULs was there. Tuls saw the car drive to the track, and run the times and he is your buddy, so its not like we are in cahoots or anything. he saw the multiple 13.3's and 13.2s the car ran. Hell, we even got second fastests import that night LOL. Also, the ambient air temp was about 98 degrees if i remember correctly... and it was at night. It gets really hot out here in the desert!!!!

Well chap got close to your mph record today in a customer car, nearly phoned you until Emma told me yours was 105.5.
But unlike you we have got a ticket with 105.16 on it
and one with 104.99 only needed another .35mph

personally I would say use the 22s unless it's not a street car. With 25s the axels can snap. Especially if you are launching properly. Now if you dont care about that. Then DOOO EEET!! LOL

It all depends what gearbox mph and rpm you want to go over the traps at.
with 22s std limiter 06 box and 104-5 mph its bouncing of the limiter in a 2600lb car, if you have a 2900/3000lb car you'll trap that bit slower so you should be okay.
Whats nice is bouncing it of the limiter in 5th on nitrous trapping at 119
with 205 50 15 drag radials
