12's on street tires?
OK, so im goin to the track soon and I was wondering If I would be able to run 12s on my street tires. My mods are in my sig, and I know I have the power to go 12's. My suspension setup is lowering springs, Lakewood 70/30 front struts, Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks, and CHE adjustable upper and lower control arms. I also plan on removing my sway bar. I cant afford drag radials or broken parts(stock drivetrain). But I wanted to know if im still ok to run 12's on my street tires. Thanks for the help guys...

RE: 12's on street tires?
You're putting out about 340hp to the motor...I don't think 12's are in your future right now at that power level. Maybe another 35 hp might get you there. Maybe.
Vettes putting out 400hp at the motor will turn 12.7's.
And your car outweighs them by hundreds of lbs.
I'm laying down 411hp,which translate to 485hp at the motor, and my best run to date, and I'm rusty as hell, has been 12.39.
