Any advice would help.No traction at all at drag strip.Im reading poeple are running 12 somethings on F-1s.Either on or off the N2O....Thanks

 

Turn them around back wards and run about 28psi in the tires. That should be about all the traction you will get out of the F1's. Though if your F1's have more than 8000 miles on them, dont hold your hopes up to high.

 

Main thing is stay out of the water. when you get up there just roll them over a few times to clean them off, no big burnout or anything. I also run about 28# in them. Thats it, I do have the best luck when I slam the gas to the floor. The weight seems to transfer and stick them better for me. When I try to ease off the line then nail it all I do is spin. Other start off slow and do great but I can't. Good Luck

 

I knew about the water..And dusting them off..Only about 2000 miles on tires...Thanks for the info.Guess I better save my$$$$ for slicks...

 

have you moved your battery to the back yet?

 

28 to 32 psi works about the same. Go around the water and back up to the water box. Do a killer burnout then learn where your truck launches the best.

 

I launch from idle-800 rpms and don't stomp on the gas to hard.

On the stock tires you have to get it rolling a little before you apply full throttle.

It takes a little practice, and you have to fight the temptation to mash the gas right off the line. Take a deep breath and tell yourself go easy.

I know it is hard, but you will figure it out.

If I can get my 60' times into the low 1.8's I know you can too

good luck

Personally, I DO GO THROUGH THE WATER BOX, I DO A BURNOUT for about 3-5 seconds, and I do cut consistantly low 1.81 60ft times on F-1s with 32psi. Still not as low as "outrageous 01" though dammit

later,
