BRAVO!!! 👏🏾😁 excellent video! This is the exact data I needed, and your car hauls the mail! I've only used drag radials, and that's why I have ET Street Rs. My biggest question was the tire height, and clearly, the extra roll-out of the 28" radials works! I noticed your tire wall wrinkle on one run. What tire psi were you running? Also, what is your launch technique? It sounded like you tightened the driveline at a low rpm and then flashed the converter? One more question: What are you using to record your videos inside the car? I need to come to Mason Dixon!

Love your car! I had a '71 440 Duster I used to race in the late '70's & early '80's. I really regret getting rid of that car; bought it as a slant 6 while in high school. Racing a '22 Dodge Challenger 1320 now, true single seater. Mopar or No car!

Radials hitting good for you most likely because of the anti squat you have. Radials love that, nice separation in the rear during launch. Excellent video and love the car bro!

Chris W nailed it. It depends on your track prep. If you run race days, and the track prep is good, drag radials will hook, and be faster. If you are running test and tiune nights for fun, with other cars running basically street tires, slicks will be a better choice. I have always run slicks, mickeys or hoosiers, but i have a big tire car set up to run big hoosier quick time pro, and also 315 mickey et etreet radial pros for small tire events. Run as much tire pressure as you can that will still hook. Radials are faster because of the stiffer sidewalls, and higher pressure, IF they hook.😂

Glad you got your fastest time that day! I enjoyed the in-car views and track-side views. Cool to see both perspectives! Nice job hon!

I had very similar results. But love that stability down track with the drag radial. I need to try my slicks again next time because there’s more meat on the ground versus my pro bracket radial. Definitely consider the PBR if you have to buy some more. Great video brother!

It’s all in track prep. Good prep, drag radials will ALWAYS be faster…but marginally prepped Test & Tune or the street, slicks are the WAY better option since they are more forgiving AND will recover well. When a radial spins they keep spinning👌🏼

We've just got our car together and have been running Hoosier slicks. We now have Mickey ET Street Drag Radials on it and will be going to the track soon to see how they do on our GTO.

Ive run both, also full time on the street For the strip you cant beat a slick!! Make sure and measure the circumference, they can vary. Can make your car go straight or put you in a wall. THe taller they are the more crucial it is

Awesome video your car is awesome bud 🤘🤘

Stick shift slicks . Auto micky thompson drag radials

I had a Really strong Camaro w/ 6 speed, and when I finally put on some MT Street radials it was like night and day..... They were so badass. Anyway Nice videos, bad ass cars and a great day at the track, lot of cool cars it looked like

That thing is quick bud!

Nice work, best time!

Mickey Thompson, ET drags work the best on my Duster. I also run a 360 but it’s also a four-speed car.

You’re car is awesome! Apparently your suspension set up likes 9:25 a set worn out mickey thompsons. Lol. I’ve tryin to figure out what I want to use. I’ll be using cal-tracs but I’m also gonna start with drag radials as well. Good video brother.

Ok, right at the end you told the story that I knew had to be coming. Both sets were worn out. A worn out old slick is SO MUCH harder than a new slick. The heat cycles harden the rubber. The first pass or two on slicks will be slower than the next ones out to about 35 or so passes, then they will start to fall off/slow down. The heat cycles change the drag radials as well but they last a bit longer, because there is just that much more thickness to start with. They start to fall off after say 45-50 passes, depending on how much street use and how long of a burnout you do. Fresh slicks, that car will go 1.46 60ft and around 7.25 1/8th. Your reaction time can be brought down by bringing front tire pressure to 40 psi, and almost turning off the pre stage light, you will have to play with rear pressure, say 10.5 to 14 psi. As you know, if you are spinning, try bringing your launch rpm, before you let off the brake and nail it, up. That way you are actually shocking the tires less, when you leave. If you sit there at 2500 and then nail it, with a 4000 converter, the motor will jump up to 4000 before hitting the tires and break them loose. It's kind of counter intuitive.

E.T. Street "R" many are using for racing

Nice runs, new to your channel. I'm running Mickey Thompson 10.50 × 15 x 28 ET Street and love them. Yellow is good 👍

If you look closely at the 1:00 min mark you can see your time card fly out the window.

Awesome duster!

I would think that what is better depends on track conditions and combos of the car. On good tracks that hook radials are always faster. If the track you normally go to is prepped or your car hooks up well there with radials go use those.

Nice comparison...I'll be facing this soon...looks like the radials get the nod

On the Drag Slicks it sounds like the rpm's are dipping down (slight bog) immediately after launch and then hanging there a little too long working their way back up. From your comments about the slick PSI if you want to continue using drag slicks I'd suggest trying to find a stiffer sidewall version. On ET Streets the RPM's don't sound like they are bogging down immediately after launch but it sounds like it's hanging at launch RPM a bit too long, fighting to gain RPM. Perhaps run more PSI in the ET Streets to help reduce sidewall flex and reduce rolling resistance. Because it sounds like the RPM's are hanging a bit too long at launch RPM with both drag slicks and ET Streets it almost sounds like you need a little more converter, perhaps a touch more gear to help get the RPM's up over that initial stagnant bit. Pure speculation as every combination is it's own beast.

great video! nice track too .

What about weather conditions? If the air is significantly different, from pass to pass, the results are also going to be significantly different.

That A body hauls the mail !!!!

Running great!!

Sweet video, did you do something different with the audio? It seems a little louder! Et streets for the win tho!

I think it depends on what your planning on doing with the car I would stick with et streets for your duster

What rpm are you preloaded at? Good video, new subscriber.

Were the radials the et streets or the et street pros? I run the et streets and I like them, heard the pros were really good too. Good video.

What size stall converter are you using and have you had the stall converter setup meaning you had it modified for your setup

Curious what you have done suspension wise. I just changed gears to 4.11 and now get bad wheel hop. Looking for budget friendly suggestions.

11.69. Wow!..Sweet

My ET SS tires freaking hook

ET Pro Radial

Enjoyed the Drag Racing. I was pulling for your Duster all the way. Strong running car.

I like drag radials.

You jammed on the brakes and still took a bus length. Lol. Its cool. Still won

I ran hoosier quick time pro. Best tires ever! I ran 28 by 10 1/2 by 15...Just so you know, i am not a joe idiot. I was points champ at dixon in 02, 06 in street plus made bracket finals in heavy/ footbrake a bit. You ever need advice, help or whatever please ask. I will answer any question
