Slicks/traction
Hey guys, im brand new to this forum i have a 2004 E blue srt-4
Im sure there are a lot of posts and info for slicks for srt's, but id personally like to talk to someone "face to face" about it. Id just like a general pricing and what size/type of rims and slick combos i should go for. I have quite a bit of time to figure out what im doing for traction as racing season isnt for a while yet. The last track i went to last year was horrible, anyone without slicks on this track was gifted with no traction and wheelspin all the way down the track. The best run i could do was a 10 sec in the 1/8... so disgraceful.
My list of mods for the upcoming season are going to be (maybe) (critism welcome)
K&N typhoon CAI
mopar stage 2 w/toys
AGP dog bone motor mounts
slicks hopefully..
and get rid of the mopar rice bov for somthing better.
-thanks for the input

RE: Slicks/traction
i have no idea what the prices are in cdn, but i can give you the us prices and you can convert i guess.
good lightweight wheels aren't cheap. you can get a set of kosei k1's for about $300 or so, but they'll be used as they don't make them anymore. the new lightweight wheel that people are using are the motegi traklite. they go for $250 or so a piece.
slicks are going to run you around $100-$125 each, depending on who you go with. m/t or m&h seem to be the best choices for our cars.

psi how much difference would it make running the traklites with drags at the track as opposed to stock?

Depends on how much power you have, but my guess would be about .3-.5 seconds? More time if you have more power though.
