Yeah, maybe with 3.27's. Like someone said though, it is all about how you drive. Still though, with 4.10's I don't care how good of a driver you are, you're going to be limited by the tires you have on the car. Either way, it's just a matter of upgrading your tires and suspension some if you find the Nexen's won't cut it.

You cant just dump it and expect to get traction, even with stock gears.

All I have for suspension is some lower control arms to help with traction. That is all I really needed. I was dead set on getting drag radials, but I dont need them. With full bolt ons/4.10s the nitto street tires do just fine in a 275.

That's nice!!! Ever been to the track?
