I have to agree with Robvas. First time at the track my car was stock except for an FIPK ran 13.7s all day on 2.15 60 foots. Came back 2 weeks later with a cutout and drag radials and a 13.0 on a 1.9 60 foot with new heavy 18 inch wheels and 2.73 gears.

Nitto drags wont hook as good as BFG G-forces will. The BFGs wont last as long. You decide what you want. Godly traction or better tread life.

Hooking like mad = BOOM!!!! w/ a stock rearend.

A friend out here blew his rear and snapped his driveshaft in two with drag radials and clutch. That's it.... just be careful man.

well yea true....most M6 guys say drag radials are a good mix between traction and safety (with a stock clutch at least). i guess ya gotta learn to preload the rear with the M6s...
