Your dealin w/a bone stock 95 LS w/right at 100,000 miles.

Basically, are Nitto Drag Radials or BF Good's overkill for my LS?
Will you kill your axles or is there not enough power to damage?
How about the stock clutch?
Would some Nitto 555's be good enough or another high end tire be fine?

What type of tires do you run for drag?

I've done research on this also. Lots of guys running street tires (14"-15" wheels)and only a few w/DR's. I dunno if thats because they dont want to/have the cash to spend on a seperate set of tires or if they just don't need them or don't care or if it's just not needed.

My goal for my LS is 15.5-15.9 w/no mods and from the time slips I've seen, it's a realistic goal.

This is from what I've read and what people say. I've seen the slips for the high 15's but pple just stated the mid 15 times, w/the 6ft and reaction, ect ect.

Nobody has any info on this or personal experience?

And I'm not talkin about the drag tires being my daily driver tires: They would be a seperate set used only at the track.

Using drag radials will absolutely do NO damage to any part of your car. I think stock axles are pretty good all the way up to about 300 hp. I think the best time I've seen for a stock full interior DC4 was 15.9. I have seen a DC4 with minor weight reduction and homemade intake run a 15.7 though.

You can manage a 15.9 (very realistic goal) or a little better with almost any type of all weather tire

I've seen the actual timeslips of guys runnin low 15's w/I/H/E (15.3 to be exact)

I'm building a turbo setup so I'll hold off on the exhaust and the header. I'll get me a CAI w/a velocity tube for now and work mainly on the suspension in the meantime.

Anybody else have anythin to say?
