I put a set of pro bracket radials on my car and it doesn't like them I don't think.first pass I heated them about like I would my bias slicks and it blew the the tires at the hit,came back did a shorter burnout same deal.both times I lifted and stabbed it and it stayed hooked.i foot brake and stage at 2,000 conv flashes 3,800,first 2 passes were 19 psi dropped to 17.5 and left at idle it hooked and had best 60ft ever.came back and did same launch and blew the tires off.argh!!so I guess I am looking for suggestions,go back to bias or start spending money on suspension. currently it has super stock springs, c.e. shocks,tubular upper control arms with heim ends,heim end strut rods,90/10 front shocks.car normally 60ft 1.50,when it did hook today it went 1.46.thanks,Sam.

DA shocks on all fours should help a lot.

Time for suspension . I use the 28x10.5 PBR . Only ever run radials on my Satellite . Small block front bars with single sdjust qa1 front shocks , xhd rear springs with caltracs and rancho 9 way shocks . Fronts full loose rear shock 1 or 2 loose from full tight on extension . 18-18.5 psi . Actually turned them wednesday at a no prep street meeting , dropped rear tyre to 18 lossened rear shock 1 click and it hooked .i am leaving soft at around 2000/2200 . Oh yeah good burn out no John Force . I hold 3/5seconds once i see smoke in rear mirror and drive it out . Too small burn out it will turn . This is with the PBR and Hoosier 275 radial Good luck

18psi and a good tire gauge....They either dead hook, or go up in smoke. All the more reasons why I run bias plys although some have good luck w/em.............
