A drag radial will make even a 10 sec car go into tire shake like a pro stocker on a poorly prepped track.

I want to put stickier tires on, but don't want to break it either. I'd rather peddle to get it to hook than have so much traction that it breaks. Randy... You're not going for an axle??

I went 11.4's for 2 seasons with a GM 10-bolt with stock axles and 9" slicks. The key is to never do dry hops, and roll out of the throttle gently when coming out of the water. Never "blip" the throttle for any reason when in gear, it loads/unloads the driveline.
