by 555s u mean NOT 555Rs...correct???

if so, believe me, with a high stall, your going to blow those away even attempting to launch. ANY street radials are next to useless with anything higher than the stock stall and STR.

heres an idea....keep your brand new 555s and pick up a cheap set of 16 inch firebird wheels from SLP with a set of nitto 555R DRs....then just swap em on whenever you want to go racing.
