- 2006 VE SSV A6
I am really interested to know what driveline setups people are using on their VEs down the 1/4 mile who are using Drag Radials or slicks.
I'm running a VE SSV with 450rwhp down the strip and having issues with traction (obviously) on cheap 245/35/20 street tyres. Best I've run is a [email protected] with 2.052 60' and I think it would have at least another 0.5 in it if I could get traction and a good 60'.
I have fully stock driveline (6L80, 2.92 LSD) and am concerned that my trans, shaft, diff or axles may give up if I run Drag Radials, can you guys out there with superchargers (or anything making 400+rwhp actually) etc let me know what drivelines you are running and if you've had any issues with any particular components? Particularly interested to know if the guys running high 10s, 11s and 12s are using stock driveline and drag radials.
It'd be great to know your rwhp, driveline, tyres and 1/4 stats (particularly 60' times). Also keen to get any launch tips with stock trans or whatever else you've found helps out down the strip. Also the Drag Radials I have ordered are the Hoosier DOT Drag Radials (245/45R17).
Thanks in advance for your help...
