good luck though, if u can get your 60' times to 2.1, thats about as good as it gets for your avg. street tire, and thats no easy feat.

ive done it on 712s w/o nos 2.1 and 9.4 in the 8 kumhos arent that bad but you need about 18 ti 20 psi and a loaded drive train. The problem with street tires in general is at some point they loose all grip and your ability to control wheelspin. A good drag radial gives you more control and the available grip goes down as a ratio vs a street tire which more or less has a breaking point. Id get some drag radials if your going to use nitrous,
