I remember vosko pulling a 1.93 on street tires.

555r's aren't as good as the bfg drag radials, but they'll last a lot longer. I'd say a 1.8x is good.

the first night I had my drag radials I shelled my tranny.
I went out and bought a Pineapple racing tranny, and haven't had any problems since. When I talke to the owner of Pineapple racing he said that I didn't give it enough RPM's went I took off. He said to take off at 8000 rpm, so I took his advice and haven't had any problems since then.
