As far as tires.. I personally hate BFG's.... I really like MT drag radials....and their ET streets... M&H racemasters hooked well for me as well...

On a decent track at your power level... some good drag radials should easily go 1.6x 60' with little to no suspension work..... so yes... I think you might could use better tires...

What boost are you at now?

What timing now?

What launch boost?

Depending on thos numbers... you might can increase boost.... or increase timing (but not both at the same time).... to get the trap speed up....

Also... what converter did you say you have?

What octane fuel?

What intercooler?
Boost is at 20-22, but i think my gauge is off. timing is 22-20, and launch at 5lb, octain is 110.
