Drag Racing Questions
I will be picking up a Vette within the next few weeks and plan to do a fair bit of bracket Racing. It a stock 436hp but will soon be modding. I havent decided how much hp to add. I might just go with a header / tune set up or I might just supercharge it. I wanna keep the car about 500-550hp or so at the wheel. What are the BEST street tires for dragracing, I dont want to run cheater slicks. At what RWHP will I have to add slicks . Are there vendors on here that have alot of experience at the drag trackÉ Thanks

If you start modding, you'll need DR's almost immediately.
