Most poeple tell me slicks give 4 to 5 tenths over street tires. My BFG Drag radials gave me 4 tenths over street tires. I can only imagine that slick would give a 2 to 3 more tenth advantage over the drag radials. In my opinion. I raced a 93 cobra with the same bolt on as me basically but he was on slicks and me on drag radials. He won because he got me out of the hole, he didn't pull after that, but i still couldn't close the gap he made at the beginning although it was closing fast. Rumor has it he is running 12.6's and higher on slicks. I run a 12.3 on drag radials, but this was done on the street not on the track so traction was still an issue for me.
