With street tires, you're 60 ft. time is going to be worse than it was, your 1/4 mile time will improve though. With a set of drag radials I'm prettysure that you'll see 13's. A lot of people under rate automatics purely because they don't know what a stalled auto is capable of. On the other hand, it's going to feel 50 times faster in the seat of your pantsbecause of the stall and the gears.

thats sweet my car will feel way faster , i cant afford to get drag radials right now cuz if i do break into the 13's my car will need a 6 point roll bar n i barely would have enough $ for the tires right now never mind tires and a roll bar but there's always next winter

I decided on blowing the last of my $$ onsome MT et street raidalsafter hearing i'm going to need traction. spending loads of cash on our cars is way to addicting jeez maybe i'll b happy with the speed of the car now n i can hold off on a HCI set up for a couple years .. haha nahh i think i'm gonna start saving up for that next .. cant wait to get the car back wed.with my new converter , gear and tires
