the 3.27's just are not a drag oriented gear ratio and drag radials will never give you the traction of a slick.

Im not scurred  i was launching at 5k on a stock motor, broke one t-5, i dont have any slicks anymore, guess i'll buy some more, also, i dont knock the 3.27's too much, they arent for the track, but i have got some good 60's with them, and stock suspension, they were great for when i was flying down the highway going to work, but i have a beater truck for that now.
thanx for the replies, so you guys think i can see a 12.80 with slicks? if so it'll be worth the work to me.
