I have a 2012 Camaro SS that has a modified LS3 engine Magnuson Super Charger 12 pounds boost and a comp cam kit. 391 gears and a manual Tremec 6060 trans.
I put M/T Drag Radial ll's onto 20 inch x11 rims. actual tire is P305/35R20.
I ran them only once and couldn't get any traction off the line and spun them hitting second gear too.
I called M/T and the guy told me that these tires are not for a manual trans due to their configuration - too hard and no give in the sidewall for manual trans only designed for automatics. Funny, the first guy I talked to at M/T told me these are the right tires.
My question is what tire/wheel combo and or suspension mods should I make so it can hook up and put the power it has to the track. The best run I had on it was 12.03 at 120mph and 60' is only 2.143. I know it can run low 11's because of my prior experience driving a 10 second Chevelle. It is pulling hard through the traps.
Any real suggestions are most appreciated.
