Yeah, you should be ok. If you are on street tires, just be careful with wheel hop. That is an IRS axle killer. Best bet overall would be to run a drag radial. Manual cars are definitely more of a handful at the track vs auto. especially on street tires.

Just don't launch it at 3k on the stock tires. That resulted in the only 1le I've ever ran running 9.2 in the 1/8th. Dude was an idiot.

Dont run them too low on pressure. Street tires tend to cup inward in the center when air pressure is too low causing less contact patch. I would'nt run a street tire any lower than 28psi.
