As far as the tires go, you're probably going to get better traction from the Hoosier, but the M/T might get you a better ET. The Hoosier's would fit, but they are a blias-ply tire, meaning you should get a bias-ply skinny for the front so you don't have any control issues between a radial and bias-ply tire. The reason you could get a better time with the M/T even if they don't offer better traction is the Hoosier are going to require a tube which adds weight. They're going to be more adjustable than the M/T, but that's something you'll have to decide if you want it. I have a set of M/T ET Streets (same as the Hoosier, but made by M/T) and I have yet to run on them since I don't have fronts yet...*sigh*

 

how wide of a tire will fit under a 95 z28?

 

alright thanx for all that info now how hard of a launch could i get wit these tires without spinnin lik wat rpm can i dump the clutch from and still hook up?

 

i launch between 3000 and 3500 and hook up alright on street tires

 

thats wat i launch at on street tires and i smoke them real bad but any lower of a launch and it bogs real bad so its lik either way im screwed so i just launch it and kinda peddle it a little

 

You will roast the stock clutch when launching on slicks. It would be a good idea to upgrade. If you don't have a built rear-end, thats not going to last long either.

Slvr, ET streets are great, so many people I know run them. - better than the popular Nitto555R. They do wear out faster than the 555R's, but they have superior traction. I was considering Toyo Proxes R888s for street tires.

 

the guy i bought it from had a new clutch installed but idk if it was a stock replacement or not

 

If its still grabby it will be fine for now. I'm just saying that launching hard on slicks puts a tremendous amout of stress on the drivetrain. Stock rear will eventually blow out on a radial - let alone a slick. If it wasn't abused much before or has low miles - then you have more time, but its really only a matter of time. I was at the track Friday, and there were several F-bodies whose rears were nearing the end of their lives.

Try to find out what clutch your seller installed.

 

well it was driven by the dudes gf but that doesnt mean it wasnt driven hard and for the last few years its been driven real hard by me and its got alot of miles im just hopin the rear holds over winter and for a couple track visits next spring so i can save for a strange s60
