everyone has their favs , i find that hoosiers don't last past 30-40 runs and i like mickey t's , get over 100 consistent runs out of a set
that said , 1.9's out of a car that runs 11.70's sucks , how much gear do you have ? your either spinning off the line or under geared or your car has no bottom end power
should be in the 1.6 range

Yay or nay on running a rear away bar I had it off car and it did hook but twisted launching so I reinstalled it and the twist lessened but now my 60 ft times suck and I'm spinning
