Thats next. Buying a set of 18 inch forgestar cf5s and 555Rs for my street wheels. Eventually grabbing a ***** out set of drag wheels. But before that, i gotta fix the trans and do a fly wheel and install my lightened/polished 3.90s. If i can hit my goals NA, im gonna grab a novi 2200. But i wont do that until i get the car efficient on motor first.

I dont want mickeys on my street wheels. I want something that lasts a little while. Ive always had great luck with the nittos. Right now the car isnt even worth trying to race. Not being able to hook starting at 70mph is just ridiculous. Too cold and no tire..

Let me know how those hook. Ill be looking for a good DR for my 15s... might even jump to a bias ply. Really all depends how i hook on the street wheels

yea im still undecided. the pro's are not recommended for street use so i may go with the street drag tire. i do not plan on having 2 sets of wheels as i wont be driving the car a **** ton anymore, i also dont plan on being to the track every weekend either... i would need a cage lol

i would hope you could dead hook with 18" DR, i had not issues doing so with my old setup

Thats because Vettes hook solely on magic lmao...or so im convinced. Its been a while since i have seen any vette need suspension to hook.

Looking super-dirty, but I'll take better pics once it rains (car hasn't been washed in about a week)
