Thumbs up One More Tip

I forgot to add,if you do decide on slicks,watch the tire pressure carefully.

Too much air either or not enough will make you have inconsistent launches,and last bit of advice is get to the track,talk to the guys running well on slicks,watch their technique for heating the slicks,lot of things to watch.

Your first launch on slicks the car is going to feel weird,heck it might even bog on you,if you do not get enough rpm's to turn the slicks.

Good luck with what ever you decide to do,but once again I would try Drag Radials first at least you go almost 17k miles with those and only have to air them down at the strip.And you do not need all the other stuff for runing Drag Radials like a safety loop and scattershield,but still be careful.
