my questions what size drag radial should I run? The car should go high nines on motor and who knows what on a 300shot. I was going to run a 315/60/15 but just thought I would ask. Also do you balance drag radials? I am thinking no but another opionion would be great.
I am also going to build a ram air setup some how buy cutting the area where the license plate goes and build 4inch piping up to a beck sheetmetal. Has anyone ever done this? pics? I need to figure out how to place some kind of screen in it because I street drive it also. I was hoping to find a pipe coupling with a screen built in.

Most drag tires should be balanced by using a bubble balancer. I'm not sure if the drag radials automatically apply to this thought process as well (since they don't grow like slicks), but most fast DR people I know bubble balance, and I did the same on mine.

I think Tom the roofer did a ram air set up similar to what you're looking to do. I tried doing a search for you but it seems to be down right now.
When I ran DR's I had them balanced.

Everyone will tell you something different about tire size.....some say a 28x10.5W is more than enough tire. I love the way a 315/60/15 looks, I will put them on my Z.
