Traction for new Converter?

I have the SY4000 coming in this week, and was curious as to what you all thought about this traction setup...

255-50-ZR16 Yoko AVS Intermediate with the Eibach Drag Launch Kit Springs..

OR would I need DRs to use with the 1.86 STR?

thanks for all the help! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

I need DRs to launch with a SY3500, so I'd guess that you would certainly need them for a 4000...

SY 4000 + 3.73s will need at least nittos if the track prep is good and at a poorly prep'ed track you will need ET Streets. The instaneous hit of the SY 4000 is not as strong as some converters but it will build torque very fast and easily spin the tires.
