Re: Belt slip = 18 psi = 12.05@115 in full street trim

SRTpowa, got your old Hoosier's out of storage bldg. and on the car today. Hoping to go to an 1/8 mile track on Thursday night. What psi did you run driving to the track and what psi did you race at? Any advise, burn out, no burn out. Nice times and it sounds like you miss the hoosiers. Thanks Jim.

That's why I sold my hoosiers since the car will see more street duty now.

I know, rub it in

DA was about 1500
I wanted to stay till 7pm when the temps dropped, but my fience was sun burned and we had a long drive ahead.

Ouch I just checked DA based on your time of day of your run and it was 1189'!!!!! Dang that was great conditions.

I checked out the mopar site and it seems like they are gonna be pretty strict on NHRA rules. I plan on going faster than 11.5 once I crack the bottle open. That would be a long drive just to get booted off the track.

If they spin at all drop 2psi. Don't go any lower thatn 15psi.

PA/XFIRE, I think your number is incorrect. I have the Gates K081153 and it is 115.3" long. The K081145 is 114.5". I believe these are the inside diameters. Add about .7" for outside diameter. The K081145 is the same as the factory belt.

My friend got me the clips from the other day. I decided to put together a little video since I was bored last night and never done it before. Very amateur
