I'm going with the Nittos. I've talked to guys at my track, and they are cutting decent short times. Also, go with the LCA relocation brackets if you haven't already.

I don't think you'll need ET streets until you get some more mods. Granted they will keep you from spinning right now but why bother with them when the nittos can be track and street.

BFG drag radials hook much better, especially the GForce line. Nittos will only hook on a stock car. Once you do anything serious youll hate the Nittos.

Micky Thompson just released there ET street radial. They are supposed to have a 275/40r17 and some more bigger sizes. Test show them to be far superior to any other drag radial made period.It would be a good way to go in my opinion.

I disagree, there is a guy that ran against me in an '03 Cobra that got a 1.7 60' out of them and he was running 11.7 in the quarter. Personally, I'd rather spin a little bit instead of annhilating the rearend again I'd take a spinning 1.7 60', if indeed the guy was spinning, but it looked like he took off pretty good
