Getting my 67 valiant to hook.

Thanks guys.

I appreciate that slick tires would definitely dramatically improve my launch however I sorta wanna see what the car can be capable of in street trim, at least for the time being. (my first time drag racing this car)

This also means keeping the 3.7 gears as in my opinion that ratio is a good compromise between street and strip.

Later on there's always the possibility of slicks and nitrous, as the bottom end is nigh on bulletproof (steel crank, H-beams and forged pistons)

Would slapper bars be at all beneficial without the slicks?

Are they something that can be bought or are they usually a custom fabrication type situation?
