what do u think?

i have a MOSTLY stock 85 Iroc, im puttting a cam in, with the gear drive...3 piece pulley, long tube headmen headers with hooker thrush mufflers(custom TRUE DUAL side exits), Home made ram air to the foglights....it has posi with prob 3:42's, and big 16 inch rims and tires

Just curious what u guys think i would run on street tires, and then on Drag radials??

also what other mod should i do that will give me a better 1/4 mile time...

also the car is an auto, and im pretty good on the tree
please let me know what u think

Forget the gear drive. A waste of money you could spend somewhere else where it would make a difference.

What do you mean "posi with prob 3.42's"? It's got "problems", or "probably has 3.42:1 ratio"?

The converter stall needs to match the cam. Much more cam than stock and a stock converter is going to kill you.

How good you are on the tree makes no difference in ET, but it can make a difference whether or not you win an ET handicap race.
