this is how i set mine also.i think alot of racers think fuel delivery issues.i went from holley blue pump to the big aero pump. didnt even change et at all or mph,that was a 500.00 waste.my car went 9.00 flat@158 with blue pump.i had fuel gauge inside car,to read.held pressure all the way.if you can borrow better pump,id go that direction 1st.i dont think its fuel issue.

This might sound stupid Phil but, I don`t like the look of a radial on a car and like the "old school" slick look #1. and,#2. I hear that they`re a hit and miss tire as far as traction is concerned. So, how much time should it take to fill a gal. jug in 9-10 seconds? I do have a gauge(small)on the ft cowl vent but didn`t get a look to see where my pressure was. Stupid me. 
I also like the old school look, but I liked picking up .400 on ET much better, from the slicks to the radails..9.50's sounds better then old school looks to me! I would launch and hit it with 200hp nos off the line and hook every time. Only if the track was real bad, and I mean real bad or late in the season with dew, would I have any problems. If you get a chance try them...Phill

9.50's changing to a radail 
Now Phil don't get his hopes up from just a tire change

If they would improve that much, I`d be ordering me a set today although I have heard of 1-3 tenths improvements.

Iam guessing that the 1-3 improvement would be from less rolling resistance of the radial,but he is hitting it hard leaving and doesnt have a 200 shot then comes into play after leaving,then again iam sure a 200 shot would give him a 9.50 or better.

Just for giggles I decided to crank up the fuel pressure as much as it would go until it sputtered or missed but it didn`t so I stopped at 9 psi. and left it. Per Continental Converters instructions I took my car out and at 2000 rpm`s in 3rd gear I mashed the gas and it flashed to around 4000-4500 then blew the tires off. Is there another way to check a vert other than the rpm`s mph math deal? Thankxx..

I try to only make one change at a time unless I know I`m only going to get a few runs in. Thankxx.........
