I'm going racing this year, and would like to know what slick's you drag racers are running. I am running a 92 LX with a 347 stroker with a 150 shot NOS.I don't care about the cost ,I just want to hook up.

 

ide recomend bfgoodrich dr. they are the best dr you can get, but you will be lucky to get 10,000 miles out of them....

 

Since you are asking about "slicks", I run a Mickey Thompson 10.5 x 28 x 15 slick, with inner tube. No slick seems to hold air for very long, so I went with tubes. Racing every weekend, they will last about 1 full season. If you run tubes however, I would suggest you use rim screws.
On an earlier car I run a MT 9 x 26 x 15. Had a couple of spare steel wheels I mounted them on, drove to the track, mounted the wheels w/slicks, raced, and at the end of the day put the street tires back on. I ran about 10 pounds of pressure.
I should warn you, that with a good burn out, they will hook. They will also find every weak spot in your drivetrain (if there is one).
Lastly, the car will feel real soft when you lift at the top end of the track. Takes a while to get used to.

yeah i agree with red, use a true "slick" like the M/T's or Hoosiers, you'll love them. i run with 26 x 10.5 x 15, they will pin you in your seat!

 

get yourself a pair of et's ...you come out 4-5krpm on these you'll be pick'in up a ring -pinion set

 

Thanks for all of your help. I will try looking at all the tires you guy's,and pic from there.
