telstar's and drag radials are in,,what the proper burnout procedure

[malloynx#2]

well after reading that article in GMHTP, i had to order the same setup. i got 15x8 telstar's for the rear and 15x4 telstars for the front.

the rear wheels are running bfg's 275/50/15 and the front are the mickey thompson 26x7.5 skinnies. this together is 40lbs of reducing rotational mass.. [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img]

i have a YANK 3000 stall converter with a 2.1 str. and it's 97%efficient. i'm finally going to be able to put the conveter to the test. so do i just spin these tires till they smoke up and get all sticky?.

i'm also running a 100 shot next week and i want to spray out the hole. don't get me wrong i hit the track, but with this new setup i want all the advice i can get.

i have run nitto's before, is there anything different with these 2 tires. i think a 275 should hold my converter and juice to the ground..

p.s i'm hoping to come home witha 12second timeslip :D

yea i'm loving them. i have to get a pic up. i was nervous cause when i ws putting them on i thought they werent going to fit. the caliper is very very close to the wheel, but everything fit with zero modifications. i do have 4 wheel disc brakes as well

Thats good to hear. I am definatly going with these wheels before next race season. Love em. Sorry I dont have slicks or I would answer your question. Im sure you just smoke em real good for a few seconds so they stick. Its not rocket science. But maybe somebody with slicks can answer it better then me.

i got it figured out pretty good. i did a huge burnout in mty apartment complex, then stall it to 1600 rpms and slammed the gas.. all i can say is holy ****. talk about getting thrown in the seat.. can't wait to hit the track...
