Launch rpm for F/S. 396 ,325hp ?

IMO If you've got it dead hooking keep raising the launch RPM's until you get about 1 full revolution of the tire. Then tire making adjustments to the clutch, chassis, tires, shocks etc... to get it to dead hook again at your new launch RPM once you get that then keep raising the launch RPM again until you get your 1 revolution back. Obviously the time slip (60') will be your guide. Just my .02

If he is still running radial slicks, it will be very difficult to get only 1 revolution of the slicks. I have used both the M/T 9x29.5 3056STs, as well as the Hoosier 9x29 D07s, both worked great, although the M/Ts seem to not "go away" as severely when they reach the end of their life. On my car, when fresh, the Hoosiers are a tick better on 60foots.

My experiences have been the same as yours Roy and yes I don't know if he's going to have any luck with the radial I've never tried them myself.

Ok, the 3056st is a stick tire but what effect would that tire have with an automatic car?
What is the build difference of the 3056st to the 3056? Is it just compound or constructed different as well?

The sidewalls, although not really a stiff sidewall, are stiffer than a normal slick. I also believe that the tread compound is a bit harder.

That is what I have understood as well. That being said, if you have an automatic car that hooks with the st tire would the stiffer sidewall help with reaction and performance? Will the st still grow as much as the non st?

Next time will be in 2 weeks I will defiantly try to get the 1 revolution and see how it pays off. I have rear shocks set second softest setting I was thinking of stiffing them think it would help 60 ft times?
