M6, tires?
M6, tires? Just wondering what tires all you M6er's are running on the strip. I have a LS1 with boltons, cartek clutch, moser/strange 9"w/ spool,4.11's, 35 spline axels. My best so far was a 12.7@114, that was with the stock 10 bolt and I had a good bit of wheel spin off the line and through gear changes, that was with nitto 555r's. Over the winter Im putting more cubes under the hood as well. I have been considering the M/T ET Street, the non radial, but I do not know much about them. Do you all run tubes in them? Im open to all suggestions at this point. Thanks

26x10/15 ET Drags, 1.35 60' on nitrous, 1.51 on motor. Me and my friends never had any luck with the drag radials on stick cars. Go get some slicks since you have the rear to handle 6k launches and your times will drop. Just hope nothing else breaks (u-joints, driveshaft, trans output shaft, clutch, etc...).

blk99camaro, sorry for the hijack
EDIT: Just realized you were probably responding to the original poster. Now I really feel like a hijacker.

I doubt I will have too many problems except the trans. The rear has all the billet goodies like the yoke,spool, bearing caps. Its a little overkill for my setup right now but I got it like that to have room for more power upgrades later on. I already have a cromoly d/s. I have UMI 3pt SFC's, LCA's, TA with relocation mount and d/s saftey loop, the next weak link is the tranny and I shoulnt have any problems with the cartek clutch.
For those of you running the ET streets do you all run them with tubes? I know that they will lose air slowly without them but like I said this will be driven to the track with the street tires on and changed to the drag tire.
