I found that if I don't step on the accelerator pedal, I don't spin nearly as much if I had stepped on it.

Saves on gas as well.

Yes drag radials will help even on the street. I can launch my m6 car on the street at 2900 with 4.10s and it hooks(stock suspension).On street tires it would just light them up.
