> Yeah. The tire is not the only thing you need to be able to hook/leave the line well from a dig. The stalled auto eliminates and slip up or misuse of a clutch. The 4:11’s help getting it through the gears a hell of a lot faster. The rear eliminates a higher risk of breaking the ass end of the car when you have a ton of power such as smokin, dead hooking out of the hole. Just tires wont solve the problem.

shorter gearing gives better traction on what planet? smokin said his problem was traction i never said those things wouldn’t help improve 1/4 miles times. my point is smokin doesnt need all the bells and whistles of a 1/4 mile drag car to get his car to hook on the street. there are plenty of good quality street tires let alone d/r’s that can hook fairly well. i think we all know the rear end needs to be addressed shortly better tires or not. smokin has the tires but for obvious reasons isn’t going to use them until the rear end is swapped, understandable.
