Need racing tires no grip but fast trap still! 13.7(1/4) 110 mph

I really need to find me a good set of rims and racing tires or slicks,

With some better grip my turbo 2000 se 5sp maxima is good for 12's and 115-120 mph trap speed. My ¼ mile is garbage 9's all I do is spin but it grabs in third and really pulls! 13.7 ¼ mile with trap of 110.5, it was my first time there!!

mods:
-Turbo t3/t4 to4e @ 7-8 psi (~420 hp to the crank, ~330-340whp)
-Same side dual port front mount bar and plate with less than 3.5 feet total cold piping!!!!!!!!(it is the genius behind all the power!)
-38mm and 50mm waste gate and blow-off valve
-full turbo back 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust with high flow magnaflow cat and straight through resonator and muffler.
- Walbro 255
-cartech FMU 4:1
-AFC neo
-GS6 brake pads (work really well, agressive bite)
-sway bar
-short shifter
-deck and speakers, stock sub and tweeters
-alarm and starter with turbo timer

_The Nissan dealer near me is really nice I bought the extended 2 year warranty and got all this new replaced so far:

Tranny 5spd
Clutch stock
Alternator
Engine Belts
Rear cables
Both front tables
Both ball joints
Both tie rod
Both links
Computer stock
Maf stock
Seal kit for breaks
Calipers 1 year old stock

I'd buy a stronger clutch and some drag radials.

How about a timeslip... what's it look like?

you'll likely pick up about 2-3mph on stickier tires, perhaps 4 if you are really not doing the right thing on street tires. If your 330-340whp estimate is correct you could probably trap 112-113, 114 at most I'd wager. I could probably give a better estimate if you posted the entire timeslip.

as neal would say, get some slicks, im running hoosier drag radials and they are better than street tires but looks like some slicks would (just guessing) have you knocking on a high 12.x

h2kfrosty in his 5th gen had close to the same power, he ran a 13.2@110mph i think it was with a typical 2.1x 60 foot. going off that with some slicks that should be good enough to land you in 12 city.

and please dont run 12's and come back without slips and videos , rofl !

his 13.2 second run is in this real weird maxima video

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't slicks tend to result in a slightly lower trap? (but much better ET)

If more grip is given, than a faster 1/4 mile ET will be met, but when capable of gripping instead of spinning than you can get to a higher top speed in less distance thus the trap speed will increase as the grip increases!!

You're probably making about what you mentioned, in the low-mid 300 whp range....A friend w/a '95 Altima turbo is running the same trap as you and has made some 12.7 passes so you definitely have some better times ahead...
He put down around 320whp so you're in the ballpark...

my traps have done nothing but go up with slicks. Even when I was NA I was trapping higher with slicks.
