Slicks or Drag Radials are the only way to plant that power down. Bigger rims/tires might be heavier but will just kill my time. Notice how all people at the track use smaller rim/tire setup. 
Gripping is all in the tires, not rims.
If bigger was better, would pro's do it then?
Smaller rims also change my final drive ratio. It causes my car to shift earlier meaning i stay int eh power band more. Redlining does nothing for autos. Why redline while you are already dropping in power. Yes, you might be lower in the next set of rpms but your also going to have more torque at lower speeds. SO it works hand in hand.
Sprint, and you know i wont end up using bigger rims.

notice medic ran his best times on 17's? less wheels spin.. better traction.. we all know traction is your enemy.. but hey.. i am done talking..

Exactly, I get 2.27 60' times on street tires. Why would he need DRs or slicks?

I have no idea why Adam is running terrible 60fts. I dont know many poeple who have that much trouble. BB is staying w/ DR's & getting wider DR's.
I know Greg ran his fastest times on 17's. If that's the case, why did he swap to 15's when he headed to Island?
Supras & all those cars can afford to have 17's b/c they make enough power, i dont.
On the Lightning board, the guys who use DR's & Slocks arent having probs either. They are pulling 1.7-1.6 60ft's. Most of them have them mounted on 16's. The wont evne use the 17's. This explains their fast times yet low trap speeds.
I dont unerstand how 15" DR's (225/45/15) are the same size as 17" (225/45/17) Even if i was using 205/60/15 it woudl be deflated to about 19psi. I think maybe that would sit lower then a deflated 17".
Some people may see it different then i do.

With an auto, it shouldnt be all that hard to get sub 2.2 60 fts on street tires. Ive gotten a best of 2.13 with my 5th gen 5 speed on stock tires and just last Saturday MaxFreak also ran a 2.13 60 ft on 16" street tires with his 5 speed 4th gen. We run at a different track than KMAX98.
Ill see if KMAX98 can email you with his exact setup.

My best on 225/50/16 streets is 2.1-ish, I have a set of 15x6 Kosei K1's and 205/50/15 BFG gForce TA DR's that I will be using this season. I am wishing for 1.9's...

RWD will always be easier to get lower 60' times. This guy got a 1.8 with his 2001 2500HD crew cab 4x4 (just like mine)
2500 HD whoops up on Mustang
I've used all different combinations of wheels/tires in front, my best 60' (1.9) was with 15x8 Custom Bogarts, wrapped with Nitto Drags (225/45/15), with a *hint* of wheel spin.
You gotta find the right combo.

Sometimes I will end up breaking loose and burning the tires to the 1/8 mile (like at HRP on Sept 8th), but I would rather do that than break all my parts.

I just dont know if i should stick DR's on my 92 SE (even though its a GXE) rims or stick them on my Steel rims.

I jsut dont understand how his auto pulled those 60ft times w/o some kind of higher stall TC. I know DR's will help but i dont think it can drop me .2-.3 off my 60ft time.
I will be going w/ DR's since i dont think i make enough power for Slicks.

Any word on a higher stall TC or new axles?
Help this follow Nitrous guy out.
Maybe i can be the "Don Synki" in the NE.

I already have Don's VB which i must sy has helped a lot. Im looking into a higher stall TC. Pref around 2800rpms or so. I will be running either 92 SE rims or my 15" steel rims w/ DR's.

I had a 40"shot" from NOS, coilovers and all the stillen sway bars. a stillen y-pipe with exhaust and hiflo cat. I raced on 225/45/17 and the car wieght was 3260 with me in it.I would hit the NOS almost off the line(within 15 feet) with 26lbs of air in the tires. 2.06 60' was my best and 14.09@98 was my best time and the 1/8 mile was 8.90@79mph or something like that.If somebody can host the timeslip for me i will emial it to them. I have a scanner but no where to host it. And I have well over 600 runs at the track, so i know what works with my car and what does not.

What rpm was your Nitrous engaging at? I dont start spraying till 3400rpms. By that time, i am already past the 60ft mark.

Wow, is that the fastest 40 shot NOS automagic Maxima? No VB upgrade and/or high stall TC? If not,
