Default sleeper look questions

Hello,

I have been driving drag style for a while now and am looking to try something new..... I have a set of ZR1 wheels in the garage i would like to start using again. I saw a c6 vett at the track laying down mid 10's with 17" MT et streets and 17" ft wheels and tires. he was on the jug, but you could not tell until he cut loose. Car went straight and fast.

Currently the car runs 11:05 to 11:15 at about 120mph 1/4. This is done NA with 28" MT streets and pizza cutters up ft. I have stock shocks all around and stock k-member. BMR everything in rear, 4000 converter, 12 bolt 4:11, LSX 383. Car is 3150lb, 3300 with me in it.

I would like to use the zr1's with MT et Streets out back and add QA1's all around. I can also add the jug to help if needed.

Question, how bad do you think this will hurt my NA times? Any one done this and what tricks do you use? Thanks in advance for your help.

I run heavy 17x11 ZR1s in the back and 9.5s up front on my car...I don't think it looks as quick as it is...

You car look great! That is the look I am after. What type of rear tire are you using and what 60" foot have you been able to achieve?
