Bring slicks, not excuses
 

http://www.fourgasmmotorsports.com/SLICKS.JPG Got me a set of these, Lenso VPD 13x7.5" (rim and tire weighs like 20lb) and M&H Racemaster 22x8x13 slicks. What do you think my 60 fts are gonna be in the turboaccord with a good launch with these (im thinking 1.8s maybe 1.7 if i set them up good?) Bring slicks, not excuses

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

those are sweet how much did they set you back?

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

$465 but the tires only had 3 passes on them (new). You can get the rims and tires new for around 600

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

you definatly wont cut any 1.7's with 22's on an accord, it will probably even be hard to hit a 1.8. it will definatly be fun tho.

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

i might have to go to 23s or 24.5

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

too small for 1.7's...1.8's probably...definitely go up to a 24.5 when those are done, but hey, least you got the wheels now right?

i hope you film it!

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

ohhh there will be vids, RENR. Im not really sure Fook, id be pretty happy with 1.8s if i can pull them consistantly.

Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
 

They look great.Whatever 60 you can cut will still be 100 times better than last season.Your all seasons or whatever you had in the vids were awesome :-X

I've hit 1.7's on MT 20" slicks.

Slicks are sized based on gear ratios the the final MPH that you want to hit. do not just pick 24.5 because they are "big". :8 If you do the math, the quarter-mile-too-good-to-be-true guys will almost always have the perfect size slicks. :6

Generally, you want to hit the rev limit in 4th right after you are crossing the line. the 22" slicks probably end up working quite well for an Accord under 110mph??
