Who has experience with Drag Radials?

I am looking to buy a pair for my 4th gen. I will be mounting these on the 15" steel rims.

What kind do you guys use? Does it help much? Has it lowered your 60ft's & if yes then how much? Thanks.

My co-worker has a SC'd 5.0L Mustang and uses drag radials on stock Mustang wheels. I'll ask him when I see him.

I put 205/50/15 BFG Drag Radials on Kosei K-1s for the strip. But before I raced with them, I drove around with them for a week or two, to wear most of the tread off of them. They took about 1-2 tenths off my 60' time, and probably took 3-4 tenths off my total e.t. They also highlighted my slipping clutch! I had to upgrade the clutch to keep it from slipping under hard acceleration. I think before my BFGs, if anything was going to slip, it was going to be the tires...
