everyone knows DR wont really hook....just a marketing ploy calling them "drag" radials 
Dissappointed
Guess someone's got a chip on their sholder today. All I meant was just adding the nittos isnt going to help the OP out run a Shelby. Yes, the Nittos will help out with traction,especially from a slow roll, But its not like adding the hp it takes to catch up with one. In my opinion Nittos are great tires in wet and dry, thats why I bought them, and when its time I will replace them with the same.
AND...?
AND...?
AND...that should be alittle more power than you make and I'm hooking up the tires you said that you cant...sooooo

I DID pull on him, and it was the GT-H. Bitchin' car, but a cocky driver.
I'm only dissappointed that I choked so hard, it's like not being able to get wood.
However I am not dissappointed in the fact that the headers made such a difference.
I shouldn't trust a G-tech for hp & Tq numbers should I? Because I just found my dads in the garage, and I'm going to take it out and see what kind of time I put down... after I play a little.
My buddy got some Nitto 555R's and they hook, and last long enough for my DD.

Ha ! Nice Bill-ary avatar chase 22! Not a big fan of the Clintons, but thats funny. Anyway, to the OP, the Nittos aren't going to make as much difference as you think. After replacing my streets with the nitto DRs (305) first still spins like crazy when not heated up. I think you should CAM it!
The Nittos definitely last on a DD. The MTs hook WAY better, but won't last very long. In these 4X degree temps, my Nittos won't hook in first or second gear unless I do a burnout and I make 400/367. Drag radials are meant to be heated up before racing, so you can't really complain when they don't hook while cold on a cold street.
I got a 1.78 out of my Nittos at the track when I was making 385/344 and trapped 112 at the time, so they are alright, but not an ideal track tire.

LOL, the bitch don't hook till 1/2 way through 3rd on all weather tires. Looking forward to sticking some MTs on it though.

Every cars Different, Ive seen a 14 second 350Z spin through 3rd on the street. And ive seen 11 sec camaros hook up in 2nd. Why even argue about hooking up. I figured everyone would know about drag radials. There a soft radial, very different from a usual drag racing slick. UNLESS THE NITTOS ARE HEATED UP they wont offer any better traction than a usual tire.

I don't know about you guys, but I think these fbodies hook up better than 3rd gen camaros, foxbodies, and a few other comparable cars. While drs do help tremendously, I hook decently on street tires from a roll.
