now my next question is do you guys think that I would hook up on a Mickey Thompson 255/50/16 Drag radial?

You'll get a hell of a lot more grip with 255 MT's than some street radials but if your wheels can fit 275's; I'd go with those...

Well I can only afford the 255's. I've got a set of 16" Camaro rims that I'll be using. So you think I can hook up? If not I'm not even going to buy them

You didn't mention gears and stall speed. Those things will effect launch traction more than anything else on your list.

Oh, and something else.....

...what the hell is this?

Looks like really overpriced spark plug wires! And assuming its a stock geared/stalled car I would think they would hook just fine. But I would recommend getting a stall at some point, as for autos there one of the best "bang for your buck" to improve your times

they are overpriced like hell..lol lotta imports use these.


BUT yes a stall is the best thing you could do for your auto..when i got my 4L60 rebuilt and built to a 65E. the guy put approx a 2500 stall..it woke the car up amazing!

didnt make a run before the build but after i ran a 8.1 on the 1/8th..which suprised everbody..and i run consistent low 8's if i get my street tires to hook.


but youll def catch traction over a set of street tires..and good thing is the auto tranny takes most the abuse and you wont have to worry about snappin anything..but be careful..and do a good warm up!


good luck!

Sorry about that I wasa really tired when I wrote this last night.
I have stock rearend gears and a 3000RPM Stall converter.

I'll be changing the spark wires , my dad had bought those for around 25$ new - from a pal of ours. Lol

a friend of mine has some 255/16 Mickeys and he dead hooks with H/C, but bigger stall & gears than you. that will make your launch different, but the tires themselves are good.

combo > individual parts. find what works best together for YOUR setup.

If I had time to do so I would, but the drags are Saturday.

The only reason I have stock gears (well 3.23's) is because my rearend broke (which I had 3.42's, yeah I know doesn't make much of a difference), and I couldn't find another 3.42 rearend locally.

My buddy in his Trex / Nitrous 04 M6 GTO has cut a 1.55 60' on thos 255/50-16 MT ET Streets. He ran a 10.8 @ 128 mph on them. They are much better than any street radial.
