Radials are faster than slicks...its proven... They may be a lil hard to get down bad tracks, but trust me, IF you try them and have sucess....you aint going back to a slick.. You have plenty of "tools" to get your car down a track with radials...AND be faster than a slick. \ 
You may be right, We're sure going to give it a try...BTW which radial do you run.Already have some m/t's,but the top runners seem to prefer hoosiers.........

i run Hoosier 295's
they are a lot easier to get down a crappy track than the MT's
they are lighter than the MT too.
I have been almost identical times on both tires so in good conditions there really is no difference....
Whatever tire you use, they dont like wheelie bars...LOL
Hit the bars too hard and you going to get some crazy tire shake,
You will be fine, i bet you running well on them in no time
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

Well, to run out front nationally you have to run 4.80 1/8 miles and to do that you need to make 1500+ hp at x275 weight. BES built chevy BB's with big chief heads are getting it done, but Mopars can't run Predators or PS Hemi heads. Max effort BES 11* big chiefs flow 556 cfm @1". That is as much as my Hemi99 flows, yet the Hemi head is outlawed. Predators flow less and aren't legal either. So you're faced with trying to use a B1-MC or PSO, which is like 470 cfm.
I personally believe the smallblock n2o combo would be a better package. A good w8/9 purpose built, max effort nitrous engine could compete with SBF SBC engines. The smallblock isn't that far behind the BB in hp and gets to weigh a lot less. The sb runs @2950, can use any induction and multiple carbs and as many kits as you want. The bb runs @3250 lbs, can only run a cast manifold with a single carb and one kit only.
No Big Chief heads allowed. That was a "conventional" BBC head engine.
I was talking to the guy that built Shelly Smiths X275 SBC thats been low 4.90's - he seems to think a small block mopar with forced induction could be very competitive. The problem is there's only one or two people in the country willing to spend the $$ it takes. The mopar crowd is notoriously cheap when it comes to top shelf builds...
Cruiser: 66 Dodge Coronet 500, Indy SR 440, Gen 7 Accel EFI = 11.38 @ 116.
Racing: Brand X, X275 Procharged Smallblock on M1, Leafsprings, Holley EFI = 4.30 @ 168

So would a turbo R4/P5 motor in a Dragpak be legal anywhere but Georgia? What rear suspension comes in a 2011 Dragpak? Sears rules say no 4 links period! Atleast I thought that's how it read!

I don't see how he could say that because the class is almost all mustangs and they are 4 links
Because they come from the factory that way.
And they are not a 100% true 4-link like you would see installed after -market but they damn sure work like 1 !!!!!
Like I stated above. Some classes / rule makers have started looking the other way when it comes to some things.
If in doubt always helps to ask the Guys that actually make and write the rules.

I just asked how fast do you think you can go? Where in any of that am I trying to start an argument. Did you notice the question mark at the end?
