Is Bigger always Better?

I am not racing in a class as the drag strip is closed this year in Spokane WA. Last year I only did test and tune. The car still needs much tuning but I hope to get into low 11s. If not, my heart will not be broken. There is always more work to get it right.
I suggest getting a set of slicks for track use, you will be dollars and ET ahead when all said and done.
Get a set of standard street radials for the street. The street eats up soft compound.
