drag slicks & light rims
American Racer 20.5x10x10 are producing the best et's on asphault around this area. Use the d23 compound and do a light burnout. We run them on the Predator and Drag Banshee.
You are going to want the wheelie bar 1" or less on asphault. Without an extended swing arm
you are better off sliding the clutch. A wheelie bar and stock swingarm usually don't perform, because the wheelie bar cause's the rear to unload the tires.

UBETRUN, with dirt I think you would want more your wheel higher off the ground than on asphault to get a little more weight transfer. JMO and I have not tested this theroy. You don't want to come back on it so hard that you unload the tires (that also plays into the length of it) but you do want good weight transfer. On asphault it seems you will be comming back faster and harder with more of a chance to unload the tires.
I'll be intrested in seeing how you mount the wheelie bar with your round carrier.
SPracer, do you run those on a 10x10 or a10x8 wheel?
I went with a 10x10, but now I'm thinking a 10x8 might have been better.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Ward, mine are 10x8 on the Predator. You can let the Pressure down and get good traction and they will stand up on the top end and increase speed. I really can't say that it's really an
advantage over the 10x10. I was thinking of trying a set of 10x10 myself. Ward you are correct on the wheelie bar, raise it up for dirt and get some weight tranfer.

I'd like to know what you think of the M/T slicks once you run them. I have heard that they really need to be heated up to get them to stick well. I think those will probably be my next tire though.
