just what kid rock said....my times with my mickey thompson drag radials improved big time, with street tires I ran a best of 13.5 at 102.8 with a 1.9 60', only addition being drag radials I ran a 13.14 at 104 with a 1.75 60', so almost 4 tenths and a mph
the thing is if i buy drag radials i am going to buy weld prostars and mount the mickeys on them and just put them on the night i go to the drag strip which is usually 2-3 times a month. i wouldn't be using them on the street much at all
Id say go with the long tubes ang pipe. Your car will sound bad a$$! People will all over it. Plus you will pick up a few hp and torque. Best mod I ever did. DO IT!
