A 26x11.5x16 bias ply et street is a great tire to practice with in a manual c5.
You need to run skinnies up front and hammer the upper ball joint on some rims to get them not to rub.
Eventually, depending on hp, clutch, and few other variables you will want the tire pressure around 10-14psi cold.
With a car in the 450whp range you may want to start with the tire pressure around 20 psi and launch around 3800 rpms to start in order to get the feel of what the car should be doing on the launch.
My suggestion is to keep dropping the tire pressure about 2 psi @ a time at the same time raising the launch rpm.
Alot depends on throttle squeeze and clutch release as well but that's a topic for another time.
After the car and driver are fairly dialed in you'll want the tire pressure around 12 psi and launch rpm around 5000.
Shorter gears will help as well.

last time out i lunched around 5k using 26x11.5x16 bias ply et street cut a personal best of 1.50 60ft and a bunch of other 1.5x 60's 14psi cold
listen to Robz, he helped me drop my ET's A LOT!
BTW Robz just got a lt1-s clutch and 3.90 gear once i brake them in will be going back to the strip might start bugg'in you again

Am I the only one that loves this build and attention to detail?
Are the numbers the norm? No, BUT please show me another car on here with the power steering pump, EWP, super light clutch, those great headers etc etc.. most people just throw a cam in there and that's it.
