tires is the name of the game when you want the best times at the track, i suggest micky tompson drag radials, not full slicks. They grip to hard and doesn't let torque be converted smoothly. It also puts major stress on your tranny, plus most full slicks need to get hot, and unless you have the power to burn out all four, then get d.r.
What drag strip is near you?

New England Dragway in eppin NH. problem for me is I have no trailor and its about a 100mile drive so I dont want to beat the car to hard so I dont need to call a tow truck and foot that bill.
I have heard alot og great things about the BFG comp t\A drags. I actually have a set sitting around but they are 235\60\15s I think and I only got 2 and they have cragar 15x8s I want to say. Oh well I gotta to sell those for some cash at this point anyway

oh i see, i know the mickey tompson go for about 160 per tire, for the 235/45 17's. If you want top of the line, go with the hoosiers, that's what i have on the vette. but be prepared to spend a pretty penny. what i suggest you do for the transportation is buy one of those cheap trailer flat beds, and attack it to a truck, or a car that can handle the load. and save yourself some cash. I dont know how it is up there, but down here in miami, tow trucks are expensive.
If you buy the bed, you figure you have a sure way of getting to the track for furture trips

or another solution is to buy a gold membership for about $150-200 a year and then you get 4 tows per year for up to 100 miles per tow. Then your all set.
