What do your 60 ft times look like?

Drag Radials certainly wouldn't hurt you any.

If you're smoking the tires leaving the line, drag radials are a good investment.

Sounds like you are, but not horribly.

2.1's are pretty good for street tires, doesn't sound like your having as big of a traction issue that you said you were. i had a horrible trip to the track last time didn't cut any better than a 2.38 but i still ran 14.7 with a 2.44 60' im thinking i really need some drag radials

whats the stall on your torque converter? 14 second cars usually don't 60 much better then 1.9 with a stock torque converter
