Default installed headers/have new problem

i've just installed a set of edelbrock headers, the good news is i've lowered my et 4/10ths to a 13.3......but i'm spinning all the way through first gear with 2 .3(60 ft times). How many tenths will a good set of drag radials lower my quarter mile times? anybody out there that has solved their problem with drag radials?

well they say every tenth taken off your 60ft translates into about 1.5-2.0 tenths off your total ET so lets say you got your 60ft down to 2.0 seconds with drag tires which translates into 12.7-12.85 total ET but thats just a rough estimate

DRs should help you out quite a bit.
Should be good for .4 to .5.

What all do you have done to the car? (gears, stall, springs, LCAs?)

Did you have stock manifolds before or did you
have shorty headers? Right now i have shorty
headers and i was wandering if i switched to LT's
if i would see a big increase like seahawkta did?
