hmm,, im not entirely convinced you could run a 14.2 with a 2.3 60' STOCK,, but, that aside

IF it were true, then with a 2.0 60' you'll be AT LEAST in the 13.8 range

and a 2.0 is VERY achievable with a nic set of Drag Radials.. dont worry about buying regular racing slicks, you wont need them, and you'd only be able to use tham at the track

many people recommend Nitto because they last much longer than the other two, howerver you sacrifice grip

Mickey Thompson and BFG are supposed to be the better 2 of the 3, however i believe most people say that MT's are a bit stickier with a bit more sacrifice of tread life.

i've got nearly 3K on my MT ET Street Radials and they are holding up fine, so anyone who says they'll only last 5-7K is either misinformed, or drove their car with them equipped like a madman.
