Default Drag radials?

Hey guys how about this combo from Brenspeed? Its $600 for both wheels and tires. How do you launch with slicks?

I have it for my drag setup, and then my nitto 555r 315 35 17s for the street. I have a little suspensions work and alunched anywhere from 4500-5500, with 1.7x 60' times.

Man, thats good. Do you dump the clutch and WOT? Will the axles and suspension components take the stress?

No, i dont do it at WOT, I did that once and spun surprisingly, not much, but i did. too little, and you will bog down. I let it off a little easier than a dump, but when i talked to moser about getting some of their race axles, they told me honestly, unless i pushing over 500rwhp, i didnt need them, because their Race axles are only 25% stronger than my factory 31 splines..

The factory lcas would have just twisted and hopped. I believe we have similar suspension modifications. just be smart about it, and dont abuse it...

oh yes, and i got mine used offa friend with a cobra for 300 bucks wheels and tires, with 2 passes on them...couldnt say no!

The only problem I had with them is they don't come mounted and balanced for that price. Your limit slip will be the first to go from what i've read. Only GTO and SRT8 break axles.

Well your clutches in the diff are going to wear out faster, not to mention the clutch in the transmission if you have a manual.
