I could be wrong, but there is a reason all of the fast fwd drag cars run slicks. Radials just don't work as well.
Maybe... I was dumping it from 6k on the slicks. I guess it depends on power levels when it comes to hooking on slicks and just how much they will benefit you compared to radials.

Really? Wow, I was off then. It sounds like you are really slipping the clutch. For example, your #1 video in your sig.

I cant even launch at 3000 without spinning badly. I was told that the track I go to (Lebanon Valley) yields some of the worst times in the north east. I think ima start going somewhere else from now on. Also I purchased another transmission yesterday, in witch I will be installing the phantom grip LSD.
