I will either purchase the 18 inch bfg's for the awd car, or a set of the M/T drags for the fwd car. I will not get the race-mater cheater slicks, becasue if I was to go fwd. I would want the car to be able to drive on the street, the way it's setup for the track. I'll love for the fwd car to run low 11's (11.4 or better) in powerstreet trim, I just have to find the right boost controller.

Yes, you can use the cheater slick if you want too. What size is the question?

the smallest they have is 26X10 they are 81+inches so thats out

last year i was consistant 11.0's on 225 bfg's with no boost controler!

NDRA approved DOT Street Tires FWD cars: Max rollout allowed will be 80 inches.
M & H Racemaster
I guess the cheater slick is out because they dont make that tire that small

street and strip 235/60/14 is looking like the tire to run

what about MT drag radials?

The M/T ET Streets are not legal for Power Street. I will be running the M&H 235/60/15 in Power Street

Joe the Roll out on the MT's is too much I think from what was said a few months ago. Go with the M&H's you won't be disappointed

I guess I can try the m/h 235/6015s. I really want to put those on a 14inch rim, my gearing using an fwd trans is tall enough. I have to see how much those tires cost. I wish I could use my damn American Racers, and forget about it. We shall see. Hopefully I may have a car actually driving by the end of next week.

get a B16A tranny and the 25.5" will be perfect.

Those are 26.1 in diameter, so i don't think they float. i think i might actually try those 235/60r14s. What do you think about those? I fount it much easyer to think about anything when I was AWD.
