What size slicks?

Whats rims work nice?

Do I need to change axels to 31 spline?

If it was only so easy......are you breaking traction with your current set up? If you are spraying and you have slicks you are likely to break something in the rear end. Or if you are running a supercharger or something with some significant power you probably will break it. If you want 31 spline axles you need a 31 spline carrier. It adds up quick. I say go break the stock rear end and give yourself a reason to upgrade. LOL

Edit: I see you are running a procharger in your sig i missed that. You could upgrade your control arms springs and shocks that will help your weight transfer. Slicks will help but they are not the fix all to your problem.

With a 15x10 draglite, what size et street would that come out too.

This tire should work well.

26x11.50-15 That is if you are wanting a track only tire (IMO)

I would rather just get a slick, but needed to know ahead of time if 31 splines were a most. I want to launch at a high rpm so I am in boost already. Right now I am having traction issues and wanted some advise to fix it. I thought slicks were the first thing to go with, or should I just do it all and say the hell with it.
