    Caesy, when you say slick, by them self could shave .5 imo

    What size the slicks?

    The 12.59 @ 8 psi might sound good, but the truck feels at mid pull at the end.

    My target is with this street set up low 12, 12.2 will be nice, but I just upgraded my brakes, and they say nothing under 20" rims, so now I have less options.

    Some said 27" diameter was the best

    My guy runs 31' street tires... and 29.5" slicks... this is on a low power truck best .60 foot is 1.85 on the bottle.... he is in the 2.2X with street tires... My truck is fastest in high gear then any other.... no matter my .60 foots my trucks lazy in the front half of the track... and I cross the traps in 6000 range... I think smaller tire is going to help me alot also....
