Default took my dubs off, trying the stockers for a while

BlownChevy convinced me to try my stockers at the next trackday, air'd down of course, thinking the extra sidewall might help by 60' times. So far my best on the dubs is 2.2, I have a 14.3 ET but a high 13 sec MPH so hopefully this will work and I will be able to reach my shortterm goal of a 13.99ET with Radix and CatBack Exhaust

thoughts?

I think it will help.

When I had the 4l60e in the truck, I put a TT3K in and was running my 18s. I could not hook up at all. I tried the stockers and it helped, but I needed slicks to really hook. So I guess the stockers will be better then the dubs.
