thats a respectable 1/4 time and mph. set of drag radials would get ya a better 60ft time and put you into the 13's

Get your self some 315 drag radials and try to get that 60' down and 13s should be easy...
You don't necessarily need the 315s but I just got a pair and they just look scary out back...

do you spin off the line?
if you don't spin you don't need drag radials no matter what people say. if you do spin then drag radials will help.

yes i spin, first gear is no no in wot from a line, i actually spun first threw middle of second almost my first run, but i think i had some water on the tires, its hard to get around the water box at this track.
i hook pretty good on the street but still spin, so i need to save some money for some drag radials i think.
