ET streets should be enough for 10's if you're a good driver. How much does the car weigh? It's all gonna be in the 60, I figure probably high 1.6x or higher at LEAST.

et streets are a little less forgiving b/c of a stiffer sidewall than slicks. I run et streets but have found with friend's cars that bracket race throughout the year that slicks are more consistent, especially on higher hp cars. A buddy of mine goes mid 1.4s on a 3400 lbs big block nova n/a with a 28 x 10 x 15 stiff sidewall slick with caltracs and stock mono-leafs.
My times and 60 foots are in sig, I'm running et streets 28 x 9

M&H RACEMASTERS hook way better then et-street and drags,i've used them all. call inter co tire and ask for tom lorden's phone #. get on www.intercotire.com and take a look. for drag racing these are better tires. if you don't believe me,buy a set and do your own back to back testing like i did.

Better yet, you are in Michigan, we meet at one of the tracks, switch tires, do the testing & decide which is actually better.

Yep ET drags no question. You are leaving ET/mph on the table without them...
