How did I know I'd get a response from you Bill? ;^) I agree, for
draggin' consistency (brackets) go with the auto, but for acceleration the
gearing helps (hence "get it to hook up"). I'm sure you can comfirm the
traction problem Bill.....yer lookin' at Drag Radials after all...... 8^).
If my budget allowed new street tires AND some drag tires I'd be orderin'
some too.
Forget trying to get the truck to hook on street tires. You'll need those
Drag Radials, DOT's, or slicks. Hey Jarrod (if you've got yer modem up
again), any updates on the running the truck with the slicks? How 'bout
the BFG DR's Stan? What were the results?
