Would Drag Radials Help??
I am thinking of taking this thing to the local track. The problem that I have is, due to the "Big Brakes", I can not fit slicks/skinnies. I was thinking of getting a set of stock wheels and setting them up with some regular F1s on the front and DRs on the rear. My basic question is ... with over 500rwhp NA would I even notice much of a difference over my 345/30/19s or would I just be spinning my wheels.
Thanks! :cheers:

Get a set of 18x12 wheels to really take advantage of that tub kit. Then put on the 345/30/18 BFG Drag Radials. They should help N.A. a lot, on spray I dont know if they -or anything- will hook perfectly :nonod:
For the wheel you could get 2 HRE 541s to match, or have John@CCW fab up 2 for you - wouldnt match but hey its just the track, my guess is with mismatching wheels you will still have the best looking ride out there :thumbs:

The drag radials will help you run much better times but to get all that power to the ground you will need the MT slick set up. When you get ready to make that run you need to do a little weight reducing so I would be glad to help you out with that bundle of JOY on the back of your car :eek: :eek: :cheers: :thumbs: :iagree: :party:

Drag raidals will help. You can take drag radials into the nines they are less consistent than ET Streets but you can do it.
