Traction Question, need input.
I want to go forced induction or heads and cam, however my 295 pilots are already a joke on the street with a 3500 stall and 360+ RWTQ. The BFG drag radials do good for me at a preped track.
Anyhow, any tires one would recommend for stock Z06 for better traction on the sreeet. Is there a wider tire for this rim, and would it help? IF not, whats a good street setup? What should I do, I need to improve my street setup, I want a noticable amount more traction then 295 pilots, but mainitain good handling on the street.

i saw a lingenfelter TT with HREs, with 335 series tires on the back. he had a minitub, on the street, i would think that would be the most traction without driving around in drag tires,
hey why not do heads and cam and forced induction, hehe :D

Maybe I will, but one at a time, hehe. No traction right now without drag radials though. I guess I'm assing is the gain in traction (if anny) going from 295 to 335, or 315 is woth the cost?
