If you read the threads on how to drag race, you will see that you don't want to raise the size of the wheel. 16"s will be best. They say that 18"s will kill you at the track. But, if you are trading size for traction, I don't know if won't be OK.
$150 bet for me to run 13.5, need advice

- Start date

my friend just ran a 13.1 all stock 1j and was having cutting out promblem so im sure you go this bet
Yeah, but isn't the 1j rated at 280hp/268lbft from the factory? And I'm sure this wasn't his first time on the track like our buddy queenskid here. BTW queenskid, you did say you were going to get some practice before the big day. That should have been last week. Did you go to the dragstrip? Are you still going to race for that $150? What's the deal?

update:
for my swap i swapped in a jdm motor, upon start up the fluids was mixing. i swapped the headgasket and the fluids was still mixing. Pulled the head off and sent it to the machine shop and it was warped. So now im re-assembling everything but it doesnt look like it will be ready for the meet. How ever i will take it to the track the way it sits rite now and see what times it put up.
Suprahero Who ran 11.77 on a ct26 ?" was he on NOSIDE or CRACK with an automatic ? I was there in Texas...(without my car).
My first time at the track... Blew my headgasket...Second time at the track... Spun a rod bearing.
The supra and I just don't see eye to eye when it comes to the strip. As far as your bet goes... I think you'll be close but i honestly don't think you'll break into the 13's.
Needless to say good luck. Ha. :icon_bigg

:bsflag: Not with "all stock" everything, exhaust, boost etc, not possible.
I love how people just put out numbers with claims like this. Heck, the mustang guys locally say the same thing here, I have a "stock" car, in reality, it has headers and exhaust leaving it NOT stock. lol

I know, that shit drives me crazy. Gears and full bolt ons and sometimes even heads and cams(aka 1-2 SECONDS faster than stock) is usually referred to as stock. Wtf.

Suprahero is 1.5JZ 5-speed. Either you have him confused with somebody else or you got some misinformation.
ForcedTorque, supranasty was asking Jay who the guy was that ran 11.77, not saying that Jay ran 11.77

Exactly .. Who was suprahero's opponent ???
Queenskid926 call me i will help you get 13.5 out of that old CLASSIC . Just help me do the LED Climit Control like yours.
Blue would look Hot in my car . On a 12sec. Pass. How in the world did this guy run 11.77 on a ct26 gotta be NOS.PERIOD
Iam the one who supposeably ran the 13.1 lol, i actually ran a 13.8 but i was cutting out bad, so i would have def been atleast a mid 13 if i wasnt cutting out, my mods are 3in exhaust, and some Et Streets.

Thanks for chiming in.
Yeah, that's what I thought and the time is more realistic. What was your 60ft? I assume you mean DP when you say exhaust. I ran my brothers RHD 1J down the 1320 and netted a 13.7 with a 1.95 60 and had an exhaust, down pipe and stock boost. This is in a car that weighs a little under 3500 with driver. It is a lighter car from Japan. I am pretty certain I could have gotten in the mid 13's with practice but left hand shifting can be tricky. lol
Exhaust is STILL not stock but people seem to think that an exhaust, dp and boost added is still considered stock. :icon_roll
