    I've been on the road for a couple of days and just checked the forum. I don't have my wheel wells rolled and the front radials were directional. I didn't like the way they worked and I was only running the 1/8 mile at around 95.

    tire pressure is the key justin. You don't need to go out with 9psi in them or something crazy. If you do i guarantee you won't like it! Make sure they are perfectly even @16-18 psi , fronts @ 42-44psi(i run mine @ 44 all the time) if you spin drop it down a pound or two. One pound is a noticable change in the ET tires in the 10-20 psi range. I'm sure you'll hook like mad @ 16psi. Becareful with those axles and the T-5!

    I had no noticable sway on any of my runs and i went from drag radials in the morning and E/T's in the afternoon back to back. There's always gonna be a little bit but that is the price of the drag slick sidewall.

    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D
