drag radials hold w/3600 stall? Will drag radials be able to grip with these mods: 98 TA, Fully built 4L60e with all the goodies and a vigilante 3600 stall, ported throttle body and off road y with 2 cutouts. I might be getting this tranny and want to know if drag radials will spin... I don't really want to get slicks right now.

I think so. This is my car with 275/50/15 BFGs. QA1s all way round. And this is only a 1.72 60ft..dead hook@3500rpm dump.

When I had my TCI 3500 on Nitto 315 DR it was a crap shoot as to if it was going to hook. If the track is preped good it would hook decient, but never consistant. I got tired of the frustration and went to a ET Street.

Well, I got the new tranny and stall... still looking for rear wheels and tires because i'm on stock 16in wheels and street tires 
. I wanted to go with drag radials because I was told slicks would slow me down top end. I don't want that... my top end isn't very good as it is. I am looking for the best drag radials for track use only.

Will the Drag Radials hook? Sometimes. The rest of the time you will be 
Nitto's are great street tires. For the track, get a real tire. ET Streets, QTP's or slicks.
This is coming from someone that ran 11.14 @ 121 (1.55) on 315/35/17 Nitto's last Sunday.

I went a 12.46 @ 106 with a 1.62 60' and then came back around and ran a 11.49@ 115 with a 1.58 60' on spray both on 315/35/17's and to top it off my best 60 to date is with nittos with a 1.58 and then the best with et streets is a 1.59 or 1.60
I did that with ported 02 manifolds, a vig 3600, an flp level IV tranny, ls1 edit, open cut out and free mods
