My friend has the Mickeys on a 10.50 GN and the pull 1.60's, and I was pulling 1.41's in a non tube 91 z28 that ran 9.80's. The Mickeys are good

Because your pretty much stock at this point according to your signature, I would recommend the MT ET Street Radials.

I'm gonna have to disagree Being stock, and track only tires I would want to get as much power to the ground as possible, the ET radials weigh each about 10pounds more than the ET streets, thats alot of lost rwhp.
