Default Anyone running BFG Comp T/A Drag Radials

I just got a set of 17 x 12 CCW with 315/35-17 BFG Comp TA DRs on them. I need to know if anyone has used these DRs and if they hook good?

i put a set of 275/40/17's on my stock SS rims, those tires hook great. I cut a 1.6 the first time i used them. They are sticky. Dont' be surprised if they don't last long.

how come you were power is less on your 150 shot vs your 100 shot run? not enough fuel?

car should fly on the 150 sauce.

My dyno guy used a bogus correction factor. The car has much more power with the 150 wet shot. No comparison.

Now that is what I wanted to hear! Will be trying to hold this new power and torque at the track on Sunday. I have never cut below 1.82 60ft with my YANK 2800, but just put in a new SS3600 and HO shaft so will be trying to get 1.6s and spray straight through some shifts trying to get into the 10s
