Any paint shop can mix it up for you.

Later this year, she probably won't do well cause the toes suck but will still be a lot of fun.

Yeah, you need a tire that will not spin on launch at the track, and regular street tires won't do it. You're gonna have to use a DOT legal drag slick or a slick to hold that 468.

I have a spare set of 9 x 30 Hoosier radial drag slicks mounted and balanced on centerline 15 x 8.5 wheels with 4 7/8" backspacing. I have two sets of wheels and I take one set out of service when the slicks are near the end of their usefull life (wear holes getting thin). This way I always have two sets of slicks with me when I'm racing in case something happens to one.

You may borrow my backup slicks and make some passes one day if you want.

Nice engine regardless, good luck and have fun!
