Drag radials dropped me from a decent 1.9 60ft to 1.76 as a best and mid 13s. Well worth the investment.

Are your DRs 245s? I had Nitto 245 DRs and increased traction even more by going to 275 17" DRs. It was amazing how much it increased! I can even spray in first gear now with only a little squeaking.

As you increase power, consider a wider DR, you'll just gain even more traction.

Good stuff man! Wanna buy me some DR's? I REALLY need em! I just ran the times down below on Friday. I was happy with the 60' considering I am running some Generic Remington street tires. Gotta get me some Nittos....

I have them mounted on cheap rims and only run them at the track. They should last for many years that way. I am running 255/50R16 BFG DRs.

True, but I don't think i'm there yet with only about 215 rwhp at this altitude. That, and I don't have the $$ to replace the rear end and tranny with hard launches on slicks.

Guys are running 8s with DRs so that point is higher than most will ever reach.
