Hi,

I raced my 06 Z at Armdrop live in Cayuga Ontario Canada, my mods are an intake, throttle body bypass, kinetix plenum, hi flow cats to a dual exhaust. My tires are to big for racing 19's and my traction wasn't so great, none the less I did 13.5 at 102mph.

Anyone know how a set of 17 inch drag slicks might help? What is the smallest tire a Z could drag on 16's? Thanks

I have no idea what fits, but a drag slick or good drag radial will drop your 60 foot times big time, and anything you pick up in the 60 you carry to the long end

I don't think you can get trye wrinklewals in a 17, but you can get them in a 16 if they clear, and you'll want the largest overal diameter you can fit in your fenders

Thanks for your response, I'll look into that.
