I Want to try the M+H 390/45-15 radial at some point. Don't think it sticks any better than a 315 but like how it can fit a mildly tubbed car.

That is about the same size I run (29.5 10.5W slick) but I can fit the Hoosier 29x12W or MT 29.9x11.1W slick. 10 sec G swears I can pick up 60 foot with drag radials.
Might have to try a pair.

It takes a special type of stupid to do this!

He has helped me so much with my G body build. I can't wait to see his Grand Am when it's complete!

"point and go" (boring) is the exact reason I converted my '68 Firebird to a stick car. Much more entertaining.
