Default T-Lock & 3.73 or MT ET Radials?

i am debating on getting the FRPP T-Lok and 3.73 gears or getting some Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials and some 15" rims for the rear

it was Opening Day @ Englishtown Racewaytoday and i had lots of trouble keeping it hooked up...45 degrees[:@]

just let me know what you think

Are you still running factory rims/tires?

I would definately get the t-lok/gears before getting DR's.

The obvious thing to do would be to get the gears and tloc first. Then you have a reason to get some DRs.

+1. What's the good in having drag radials if only one of them will hook?

T-Lok and gears first.The car'll be more fun 100% of the time, and trying to launch on DRs with 3.31s and an open diff just ain't gonna fly!

Also, while you save for the DRs will give time for the gears to break in nicely
