F1,
that's a pretty interesting point you bring up. I have thought about this but I know the launch is the most important thing in a 1/4 run. The 60 feet times directly impacts the 1/4 mile time. I HAVE A TORQUE CONVERTER! If I did not have a TC I would definitely not use drag radials of any kind. When I went to the track on my street tires w/TC, I had traction problems all day. Thanks for your input, I would agree with you if I did not have a TC.
Mr. Johnson,
That's about the times I ran when my car was stock. I would suggest getting a pair of drag radials with your TC. My best 60 foot time was 2.25 w/Street Tires and 2.05 w/Drag Radials. This caused a drop of .4 seconds, that's about right. For every tenth you drop on your 60 foot time you drop .2 tenths on your 1/4 time. I also do have a S-AFC which attributes for 10 more rwhp peek HP. What type of Exhaust are you thinking of getting?

I'm not planning on getting an exhaust as I've already got the stuff in my sig (Exhaust, springs, sways, etc...). I'm running the L-Tuned exhaust. Just to clear things up I'm not getting a TC I'm getting a SC.
