Hooks great at the track.

Once you get to a certain point, hooking on the street is gonna be extremely difficult without some sort of power management. Just have to get good at the variable foot feed!!!

The 275's will be faster on a prepped surface. The slick is going to work better and be much more forgiving.

If you're going to be on a marginal surface, the pro bracket radials give kinda the best of both worlds. They'll also work much better on a marginal surface than a 275 Pro.

Double adjustable Vikings all around and a pair of Pro Bracket Radials are what you need! Good job busting into the 9's!

They should make a huge difference. After using drag radials, I'm spoiled. Don't miss the mushy feeling of bias slicks at all. As stated though, the drag radials have been tougher to make stick all the time. Sometimes they are great, others they suck. No rhyme or reason seemingly. Apparently my car doesn't "Bitch-slap" them into the track either, lol.

with the old slapper bars my car whould dead hook any tire I had on it for a car or so then break loose if the track was slick. with the srd bars it works good everywhere except the first car length. it feels good and stable but I just cant get the hit or separation like the old slappers.

You were most likely spinning when the shock topped out. Adjustable shocks probably would have made a big difference.
