str size dependson ur preference... and on ur tracction... the higher the str the more u need traction to use it. higher STR's are better for track, lower STR's are better for street (roll racing... not running slicks...)

I'll clarify on that since it was a little vague...

Higher STR is better for street driving. It helps keep the RPMs down a bit when it is engineered for the RPM range the car will be driven in.

If traction is an issue, a lower STR is usually best (for example, when racing).

^^ yea but i thought a higher STR will create more friction, which = more power loss, so for street and/or roll racing, u might lose a little, but when at the strip, u'ld more than make up for the power loss with ur ET's, traction permitting..?
