ET streets are about the only thing that they like. i launch HARD on mine and the et streets sidewall helps absorb the shock . no wheel hop at all with mine.

Because ET Streets have more sidewall, they are more 'forgiving' on the driveline compents the Drag Radials. If you are over 450ish rwhp, I would go with harden shfts on the diff. Anything over 550ish, I would go with a diff brace.

if its a 6 speed car its a gamble everytime you dump the clutch if you are over 600rwhp. no matter what you do to the rearend.but you should be fine if you dont do any 7000rpm clutch dumps.
