Hell i wish i could run 11s.... I cant even turn my wheels over on regular basis right now... Im not pushing anywhere near what you are, but my stock, on its last leg, 5.3 would at least do a damn burnout... Sorry back to topic... Slicks would do wonders im sure what tires you running now??

It sounds like you need your tune adjusted.
I have the stock tires. I made some 10" wide wheels for 20" drag radials, but didn't finish them. A short sidewall drag radial would never hook up. I need to go with a tall sidewall. I'm sure my slicks will hook well.

Im gonna have the tune revisited, once i get a decent torque converter installed and my headers on! Off the line my truck kinda sucks but seems it has all the power in the world at 80-100 mph.... Go figure!!!
That makes sense, taller tire more rotating mass..... And slicks are stickier than drag radials!

Are slicks not a softer compound than drag radials?? Maybe i worded it wrong or have a misunderstanding of the subject, didnt mean to offend or upset any one, but typically cant better traction can be had with slicks than drag radials, mostly due to the sidewall on the slick actually flexing more, yes or no??

Do some homework on a good radial and youll change your song
