Kevin's car is a good runner.. He is doing a good job at getting every horsepower possible to the ground with his setup.. pretty efficient if you ask me. And there are more things he can tweak to get some more out of it.

Much respect to his car.

Oh and you can run radial fronts with a bias ply tire. Plenty of people do it. My car goes straight as an arrow with it. Sounds like another behind the fence expert.
