Um, if I were you, I'd get a VERY strong clutch, so that you can slide it out. Slicks grab quick, and are harsh on the axles. You'll need to slide it out to prevent yourself from snapping the axles.

Just drop the clutch. That's what I do.

teh 6" wide is too small in my opinion. if using 14" at least get the 8" wide slicks

I think its a little thin as well, but better then running on street tires im sure.

the 6" slick will barely hook up with a NA SOHC motor. With B power, good luck!

Had same set up as you(c5), and the slicks would spin on launching. Shitty 60 ft's 2.2 try to get 22x8x13 if you can, and if you plan on getting cams ect. i have 20x8x14 and they spin on my car, but i'm getting 2.0's so they half *** work.
