OP, please excuse mini hijack:
What does a drag pack get me that I can't get out of a pair of
drag radials, which in my case usually = low 1.7s high 1.6s 60ft.
How much drag reduction in ET /MPH are the front tires worth if anyone has tested...
Just curious what the setup is worth in ET/MPH...

ET Streets on the drag pack have a taller sidewall than the 18" DRs I was using which adds protection to the driveline.
ET Streets are apx $170 ea. versus $300 ea. for the DRs.
Front skinnies will take about .1 off your ET.

do you guys have to run extended STUDS on your drag pack at the track?
I dont want to cause I think it would look horrible with my street wheels. 505a's with a closed lug nut

I've got the exact same ones but I gotta say they are not the lighest in the world. Rotating weight is a bitch when it comes to ET's. Put some Mickey Thompson Et Street 28 x 11.5 x 16 and she'll hook even better than the M&H's.

If you want to pass tech at tracks that go by the rule book strict you should. I was at the LSX shoot Out and they were causing a big stink about guys with closed lug nuts. I agree they dont look as good as closed but who wants to get rejected at tech over that?

You might could run a regular length lug and a extended stud at the track and run a extended lug on the road. Not sure how that would look or even if there are any extended lugs out there.
