I think I can better 13.8 already with the mods I have. Unfortunetly track conditions sucked major ass and I was barely breaking 14's. My rear tires are nearly bald now also, I'm sure that won't help.

Yeah Jugador, I actually agree with you. If I had a drag car built strictly for racing, then yeah, dr's are a must, but I think it's fun trying to hook up on street tires, because you won't be running dr's when you drive the car home. I like to measure the 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile time that I will most likely do on the street, and this can be accomplished w/o dr's. If conditions call for dr's, such as you absolutely need them to hook up b/c you have a h*ll of a lot of hp, then definitely go for it. But for my GT that will be my everyday driver, the fun is seeing what it does on street tires. But, we all have our own opinions!
