You should be able to hook fine on a good tire. Does it have much front end lift for weight transfer ? Myself all I use is SS springs with the older non adjustable shocks and a 9" radial slick. I found as long as I make sure I stage in the grove which is the marks where all the cars are launching then I hook great even on radial slicks. But its important to stage in the tracks where all the cars have been launching for the best hook for me. At the 119 corrected mph thats low 11's with good hook. Whats the combo if you dont mind me asking ? Maybe you should try a better tire ? Good luck , Ron
