Thanks guys, I am not giving up on radials just yet. I just want to get the tune dialed in first with some consistent traction then switch back over.

@ Steve - Man this is a street car, but i can't drive all the way to Commerce! lol...

While you have been running slicks throwing a lot of power to get it to sixty. You have to hit the radials a little softer.

Not true. You have to hit them really hard and hold the tire down with the shock to get them to work.

THIS is very true!

You do not hit a radial soft! You PLANT that mug in the track, use compression in the shock to hold it there and do NOT pull power from the moment the trans brake releases so that it drives through the converter coupling transition to lock up smoothly. Once weight is transferred if the nose drops when the converter couples it will take the tire off.
