I ran Phoenix for 10yrs on my low 10sec 4 speed 68' Cuda. Last year I switched to M/T's stiff sidewall stick tire and I've been very happy with it. The car is .01-02 better in the 60ft but what I like best is they remain consistent.

I run quite a few UMTR stick races each year and probably 90% of guys run M/T. I'd say then followed by Phoenix and Good Year. You'll want to avoid a radial. Good luck. Nice car btw.
