ok here is the biggest problem front wheel drive with 320 whp
second problem went to the track and couldn't get out of the hole
i was peeling oput 1st and 2nd but 3rd gripped i need help deciding on good slicks or drag radials for my stock 16' rims if possible
i was get ok mph with all that peeling at the begining
i hit 105mph and 102's consist all day but i think with drags i could reach 110 or as much as 115mph but not sure and get better time
so if u guys have any ideas on how to solve my problem please leave a thread
if u are wondering why i need them so bad is becuase my best time was 14.6 at 103mph
thanx
 
bfg drag radials, alot of ls1 guys use those

320 wheel is gonna net maybe 110 at most i think, unless you got some serious weight reduction
 
I think you need to learn to drive first. You should learn to butterfly the clutch.
 
bfg drag radials are the best drag radials on the market, and stear clear of the nitto drag radials, they suck royaly, my friend had them on his prelude and he still spun halfway through third gear, he said if you dont burnout really good to heat them up that they spin more then street tires, bfg's on the other hand will have traction if your just cruising around and need to downshift and floor it to cut some traffic

as for slicks, there are so many different compounds and brands that no one can really give u a single one that will work best for you, it depends on where you are, the outside tempature, how u drive, ect, and what exactly u want
and i dont think u will be able to put a good set of slicks on stock 16s, a slick with a good sized sidewall will probally hit the wheel well when it expands, espicaly if your car is lowered, most people run slicks on 13" or 14" rims
