I run Hoosier 26x8.5 in. slicks and they hook awesome. I used to launch at about 5000 rpm. Since my motor upgrade I now have to launch the car at a higher RPM than I did with the stock motor, because the new motor makes alot more top end horsepower but has a slight loss in low end torque at low RPMs. I'm launching at 6000 rpm now so that the RPMs don't drop down below my powerband.
