    Thought I would update my results, So the MT Drag Radials worked very well, I ran 16psi did a moderate burnout and they hooked flawlessly every time. 1.69,1.68,1.69 and 1.68 in the 4 passes I made. I did not even touch my Cal Tracs from were the were set for the ET Streets.
    Im happy...(y)

    Good times. Are you footbraking or do you have a trannybrake. I'm usially in the 1.75 range, but I leave at about 2000. Much higher and I push through the lights. Best time so far with my 308 is 11.81 at 116. :)

    Yes lol Just raise the back of the car on some stands, take the rear tires off, and have at it! I sanded and "hammer-formed" the bashed in lips so they would be nice and smooth too lol

    Thats more like a truck size. 285 70 is a very tall tire.
