Default 275 GSD3's w/ cam + 150 shot

I have 275 GS-D3's w/ a torquer v3 cam right now. Full suspension and boltons, it drives great. I am fairly happy with them at the street but their 60 footers arent that great.

What will they be like with a 150 shot? Will they have traction in 2nd and 3rd gear? Any point in spraying in 1st with them? Stock 3.42 rear btw.

I am probably gonna end up spraying 100 in the end or a progressive so let me know.

A progressive controller will help traction, but I don't think any non-drag radial is going to hook a cammed/sprayed LS1 in second gear. Third should be decent depending on how you progressively control it.

Instead of spending the money on a progressive, why not buy a set of M/T Drag Radials and just spray 150 non-progressive?

If you are worried about your 60' at the track, pick up some stock 16" wheels and throw a MT 255's tire on.. Thats what I used to hit the 60's in my sig more then once.
