Drag Radials vs Slicks

I have a 4-speed, might be why they break loose so much more easy. But, they are way better than street radials and when I heat them up and go thru the gears, the tires grab better and when I shift into 4th the tires only chirp instead of spinning like street tires....it pulls harder with them for sure! But, I have never run slicks yet....and want to try them some time.
