About the rpms, Dont take your foot off the gas
. 1-2 shift is by far the easiest to powershift. If your rpms, are dropping that low, just shift faster.

555r's are better than a street tire. lol

RE: Drag tires question
On the 1-2 shift with street tires, were you spinning at all? That would cause your rpm's to stay high with the street tires. The d/r's are hooking causing it tobog down a little. That's the best guess I can make. A shift kit wouldn't hurt.
