What are you using now? Tires/wheels. Sounds like you should know more than 99% of us.

Right now I am just running on my street setup I got 19" ssr sp3 With Mickey Thompson Et street 2 305/35 -19 on the back.

I was just wondering if anyone else out there has had a slick setup on these cars yet but doesn't seem to be the case so was just wondering if anyone has done it yet.

What's your 60'?

Slicks helped me a bunch over same tire as yours. Also your wheels are too big & you have very thin/little rubber to work with.

Like if you're willing to change front & rear wheels/tires at the track or you would rather get a set of drag/street radials (rear only) & just drive to the track then just drive back home.

Now I believe you're super charged with apx. 500 h.p. What trans? gears? suspension?

It would have been better/easier if you learned before the mods. Anyway need more info.

Friday night or Sunday at Atco, I might go for the last time. My concern is rain on Sunday & both days will have very high humidity.
