you might find some street/slick time differences if you looked in these threads.

do you know like time wise?

say your running a 14.8 with street tires, would you say you can run a 13.8 with slicks?

just trying to get an idea of how much it can drop your time at the track

a general rule is that it takes about .50 sec off your 1/4 time, mainly because it cuts down your 60 foot. but, you must have a good clutch, axles, and tranny. if you got worn out or cheap parts, when you rev your motor and dump the clutch, you will either toast your clutch real quick, snap an axle or 2, or spin a gear in your trans. its not as simple as putting on different tires.
