get some drag radials or your going to be wasting your time. You can definately get some better times with some seat time. But, you will be slower than you would have been with your stock gears until you get some drag radials. Nitto's are a good combo tire that are great on the street and do all right at the track and they are good for 10-15k miles. Trust me i went through the same thing when i put my 4.10's in.

Even on a good clean launch I can still feel the tires fighting for every last bit of traction..

Drag Times
wow.. i have no idea how you guys can screw up so badly.. what was the DA when you went? Or tell me the track you went to and date and i'll figure it out for you.
my best time at a 4000ft DA was 13.5@101 2.0 60ft adjusted it comes down to 12.9@106 that was on MT DRs. my best time on stock tires was 13.6@101.9 2.1 60ft which adjusted to 13.0@107.. my worst run was on MT DRs, i got a 14.2@100 with a 2.5 60ft, i revved up too high and stabbed the gas too hard. I was spinning all through first. best advise. I have no idea what you guys did wrong to get your best times so horrible though.. for the most part id rev to about 2k, then let off the brake and push on the gas (but not stabbing it down hard/fast, just pushing into it)
oh and these times i got from just 4 passes at the track.. before that I ran 3x last year. that is my only track experience.

Are the nittos really a good DR? Does anyone else run something different? A buddy of mine had some 555r's on his Chevelle and they didn't hook that well..He ended up with the M&H racemaster DR's and they seem to hook quite a bit better...
