DubbsFaris Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks, Just got off the phone with MT, and it looks like there is a hold for mold approval for this tire, and she wouldnt give me an ETA, but said it probably wouldnt be May. Guess we are back to waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nice choice- these hook pretty well. Be careful- you could blow out your driveshaft with these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Nice choice- these hook pretty well. Be careful- you could blow out your driveshaft with these! I sure hope so! That would be AWESOME!!! I already upgraded the driveshaft....Im thinking clutch or tranny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyarnelli Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I sure hope so! That would be AWESOME!!! I already upgraded the driveshaft....Im thinking clutch or tranny.... It seems like you run your car all out... Thats awesome. Have you broke anything yet? When I get mine home im going to run it down the 1/4 mile to shut some chevy fans up. Should I be concerned with the clutch, since I had to sign off on my warranty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have had some issues....namely, the return spring on the clutch pedal went out, and it was replaced under warranty, but the clutch has held strong so far, even under two track events and a trip to the drag strip where I did 1/4 mile runs, back to back to back without stopping because there were no other cars there yet. I have also had a couple unrelated issues to anything- airbag sensor just went out, warrantied, and a problem with a wire in the engine harness that threw a faulty cam code, which didnt get covered under warranty, but that was because of the dealership I took it to that never covers anything under warranty. Not only that, but I have added over 100hp to my car, and it still is holding strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnleashedBeast Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The tire will hook much better than a summer performance street tire, but don't expect 1.5 60' "driveshaft breaking" performance from this tire. Since it's a tire designed to mount on a 19" wheel, the side wall will be very short. Short sidewall means little to no side wall wrinkle to assist with hard launches. I had the 345/35/18 on my GT500, and nothing I did would ever produce a 60' time better than 1.7 to 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdude Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'm thinking of the 19" Mickeys for the street and using my 18" M&H drag radials for the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats SWEET.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Cheap doesn't usually factor into modding, but for the horsepower gains, I have upgraded to a slightly smaller pulley, (probably 40 hp), and pretty cheap, about 150.00. For the other gains, I have the aluminum driveshaft, which didn't add hp, but gave me a solid 8% loss reduction from the crank to the wheels, the upgraded CAI gave me another 15 hp, and my last Dyno was 588rwhp, up from 497rwhp when I dynoed it at the "stock 624" package. Just the driveshaft alone and the Jon Lund tune gave me 537 rwhp. Now this was on a mustang Dyno, not a dynojet, so add 10% at least to what I am quoting for an apples to apples Dyno from what you read from the published hp. ( that's roughly 645 rwhp on a dynojet, but I will get to prove that guestimate at mid America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
