My buddy has hooked up well with those tires. He's got a 540whp LS7 Z06. Its been averaging 1.5 60 foots but has been in the 1.4's with a stick.

But with 780whp I doubt its gonna hook at 40mph roll. Unless its a progressive shot. I had around 700whp and cant hook from 40 rolls with ET STREET 26x11.50x15 bias plys! 2.73 gears too boot. This is unheated tho. He may need to do a big burnout before going to 40mph roll speed and running

yeah im leaning more towards trying out the 325/40r18 m and h on his car.. not sure trying to do my hw ya know idk..ive bolted up every suspenion part you can buy too his car..its got a long as list its all adjustable ect i told him too run a et street but he says he wants a drag radial so i gotta try too make it work and its a 3 stage progessive...shot and he likes the looks off the 18's lol if it was me i would run some 15's with et street or drags but gotta keep the customer happy and give him what he wants...imo the car with a 200 shot put down 505 rwhp and like 550 lbs and we got it too cut 1.5 60 ft's on nitto nt555r 305/45/18's leaving out off the whole on the bottle

the only way he is gonna hook is on a slick on the streets. plain and simple. my buddy runs 275 60 15 m/t et street radials and was making roughly the same numbers maybe more. he would spin into third. ls1 turbo th400 with 3.27 gears i think.
