Default Will VHT help my street tires get stickiet?

I plan on going to the track and i cant afford any drag radials right now ......but with my 3500 stall im thinking i might be spinning too much on the launch, so im thinking about just easing off the line and letting my top end do all the work (but i know thats goign to kill my time!!!!)..... so im tryign to think of ways to make my street tires stickier and i was looking at this stuff called VHT track bite. It claims it will make any type of tire stickier but im just wanting some feedback on it and if it will make any difference of even help? thanks.

VHT will not help skreet tires, save your money and buy a set of drag radials. Untill then, learn how to launch your street tires, and get the move and some land!

Sure helps mine alot. Normally my car on street tires would spin all through first and part through second. But when I had to run the car once on street tires I VHTd the street and it left pretty hard. Might have spun 3 feet.

I heard that if you soak them in VHT (without the wheels) they'll stick a little better haha.

If the track you are going to is any good it should already be prepped with VHT. So why waste your money on buying it unless your racing on the streets.

Also true. On the street my car would spin forever, but at the track it would dead hook. Are track is usually prepped really good though.
