Default Re: Slicks - Tubes or Tubeless

The reason i went to tubes was the car was very inconsistent in the 60ft.
A good friend of mine was having the same problem with his 71 El Camino
after many changes he put in tubes and problems solved.
I started with Mickey and tubes and ran 12.5 lbs of air
i have a 64 Nova with leaf springs and slapper bars.
I run 4.56 rear gear with a glide and i leave at 4500 and go on the stop at .300 out
i went a 1.67 60ft in Norwalk this weekend. I have gone 1.38 60ft wide open at Rt 66.

I know run Hoosiers and still use the tubes and the car is very consistent.
I do run more air in the Hoosiers, now i run 13.5 air.
They helped me lots... maybe it is just me..... but if it works stay with it.
