Best I have done so far with a SA shock in the back is 1.54 on a 26x15 ET street. That was with the tire on the passenger side spinning all the way around on the rim. No rim screws of course. 17.5 psi.

Think I may try a 295 MT drag radial if they ever hit the market before I drill holes in them Bogarts. Hopfully I can get into the 1.4s when I put the shocks on up front.

I hear Hoosier has a good tire as well.

i have run the m/t et drags, et streets, and et radials. i love the ET radials (325) the best b/c you can run them at 20 psi at the track and street, they are stable, comfortable, can drive in teh rain and go 1.3 60' times.

am I doing something wrong if I have M/t Et street radials on 18 psi, dumping @ 5500 RPMs and it still bogs? is it due to the aluminum flywheel?
