The Hoosiers take the hit off the line much better than the ET Streets. My car likes a stiffer sidewall than the ET street but a softer sidewall than say a DR. I've used ET Streets ever since I started running a 6 speed but I figured I'd give the QTP's a shot and I'm glad I did. The 60ft is no faster but the 60's and 330 times are much more consistent. If my launch rpm was down just a bit, the ET Streets would bog. The QTP's are much more forgiving at the first hit. This may not be the case for everyone because everyone has their own style of driving, but this is what works for me. I hope I wrote this so you can understand what I'm saying

Im running the ET Drags that you listed, they've been awesome for me so far. 1.33 60ft with 19lbs of air in them, cant beat that.

When i had a 6-speed i had the best luck with Goodyear Eagles.

I didn't read the part #'s you listed. I just read Hoosier vs MT ET street. My response was for ET Streets MTT3753 vs Hoosier qtp HOO17420. Sorry about that
