Radials also have less rolling resistance regardless of pressure, therefore why your mph can go up. It seems neglegable in the 1/4 mile.
I am not trying to be a pain in the *** but everyone is saying what everyone always says."radial is faster", what I am saying is prove it. Because I can't find any proof.

senicalj4579, Unless you changed from what we discussed, you are running ET street bias ply slicks, not the radials. They have softer sidewalls than the radials, and you have to drive the car a bit diferently than regular street rubber.

Yes last time I ran the et street biasply but
I just picked up some et street radials today and will be running them tomoro at the track. I cant wait to test these out. I beleive that the biasply did slow me down at top mph. I came to this conclusion by the time comparison. I was .2 slower with the biasply

Yes, the radials will not grow like a bias ply slick or ET Street, so it won't affect the gearing ratio (my Nova traps about 400-500 rpm higher on the radials versus the slicks due to the growth).
