Will Drag Radials make a difference?
 
Will they? I'm just curious because when I ran my car at the track a few weeks ago, my best time was 14.35 at 99.99mph, and that was with a 2.275 60 ft. I had to launch between 2000-2500rpm just to keep from spinning too much. I have a huge speaker box in my trunk that probably weights about 50-60 pounds, and my tools which is probably another 30-40 pounds. Would my time drop if I take these things out of my car?

My mph seems kinda high for a 14 second car, does this mean I could dip in the 13's with Drag Radials?

DR's will definatly help. Take that stuff out of the trunk when running the DR's. Ide get at least an 8" rim with a 275/50/15 DR and start at 18psi and work your way DOWN

Your MPH may be up from alil tire spin...or top end power.

Start launching at 4K and work your way UP

I agree DR's will do wonders, you should be able to 60ft 1.9's easy on small dr's.
