I do have adjustable LCA's, and PHB but more to make sure stuff was angled right, I don't move the rearend forwards or backwards with lca's since I don't think my driveshaft would fit then. I can't look at the car until later we are running late to an Easter thing, have to be this afternoon.

i currently tired a set of the hoosier DR's.
they perform as good as the mickey, but the MT is gonna drive a lot better on the street.
the hooiser drives like a bias ply.

275/60-15 M/T DRs are available from Summit. Mine just arrived today.

I test fit my old school Monocoque/Bogart Dragstars with 28x10.5 M/T Drags. I couldn't even squeeze my fingers in between the tire and bumper cover. So with growth they would definitely rub with out trimming.

Too dark for pics but the front inner metal is deburred, meaning that's it not mega hammered in but there are not more sharp edges. In back the plastics might be little clearanced I don't remember what stock looks like. But the body line is intact it might just be a little trimming on the inside edge. If you notice my Camaro is not real slammed.

My Formula has bogarts and has had 325's and 28w's on there. the plastics burned thru in one spot one time but the side still looks factory.

275 60 15 hoosier DR.
when warmed up, my suspension works so good, or i have lack of power. i cant spin them.
split second of tire shake(vibration), and its gone on the street.
track is the same story as the mickeys.
1.51 short times.

i havent dynoed the car in forever. there has been too many changes to measure.
i ran 7.20's at 383whp
i now run 6.90's and 5mph faster.
if you are buying these for the track, and frequent it, i would suggest slicks. these will not hold up to regular index or bracket racing.
just not enough life on them.

Dot or slicks?

Stick or auto, and if auto how big is the converter?

Is it 510rwhp on spray?

I'm 28x10.5 ET Drag stiff sidewalls, 1.48 on motor and 1.38 on 150 shot.

I run 26x11.5x15 MT ET STREETS on my Bogarts. I don't have the power you do yet, but they fit and hook well.
