my formula is pretty much a stocker with the minor bolt-ons listed, and the sportsman pros are on 16 x 8 take-off rims from slp. I like the sportsman pros better than drag radials b/c they have a decent sidewall and tread depth to hook more consistent. A friend has em on a 95 formula with bolt-ons, a 3400 stall jw convertor and 3.73 gears and he cuts 1.70s on them consistently and gets 10,000+ miles and about 200 runs from a set. They work great for daily driving, including rain! I use M/T ET Streets on my Nova, once you get into the 1.6 60 foot range, a dot slick or drag slick should be your tire of choice.
Good luck!

i do between 88 and 89 mph in the 1/8th and run 7.60-7.70s....thats good for a 12.10 pass.....91 mph in the 1/8th is definitely and 11 second pass! 1.8th mile should be in the 7.30-7.50 range. 2.3 60 foot is destroying your et! good sticky tires will make your car feel like a whole different animal.

I greatly appreciate all of your responses,no wonder, I figured something was NOT right with the et/mph equation,man I would slap happy with a mid to high 7 second pass,only problem than would be,no matter how fast we go,it is still NEVER fast enough!Thanks again for the help.
