Intake, headers, exhaust + ECU and GOOD tune.

Dont forget tyres lol. Semi slick or slicks make a big difference in times !

All done in Adavn 048R...not much of a drag tyre. Just used it cause it was bald.

i dont see how they can, considering a semi slick tyre is designed for track/circuit use so it would take much more than a burn out to get them up to heat. Well thats what i thought anyways on those runs i did. Unless we are talking about those BF Goodrich drag semis which are real soft and can get warmed up easily.

compared to any normal street tyre...actual "circuit" semi slicks are apparently worse for straight line dragging. Anyway tyres do make a big effort in putting the power down and reducing those 60ft and ET.

Just a noob question, why does semi slicks make a big difference? more grip?

alot softer compound and more tread on the ground = alot more grip than "road tyres" could ever have.
If you hear anyone saying they did X time , make sure you ask if on road tyres or on semi slicks or slicks because its quite a difference

What should a stock dc2r run with street tyres? 14.8?

and what should a stock dc2r run with semi slicks?

Just want to compare the differences

Super stiff sidewalls though...

I remember running on fresh semis and getting the same 60' time as i did on my fresh streeties.
