So I want to go with 15X8 Weld Draglites and 275/50/15 tires, but some one told me my car would bog because right now I have around 290WHP (50 shot). Is this true? If so, what rims should I get and what tire size? I plan on spraying more in the future or maybe a supercharger, so what would be my best choice?

What is a good brand of DR's that aren't too expensive and will last long? Thanks for the help guys!

well from my experience at a properly prepped track N/A car almost always seem to bog off the line. Mine did. But when i launched on the juice there was no bog. Another thing to consider is those tires will help you hook up quite well on the street.

m/t are the best for traction, bfg's are good, thats what i have and at the track they hook great still good on the street after you spin them a little, nittos are the best for mileage decent traction but not as good as bfg or m/t.....
