Drag radials

Don't want to hijack but I'm looking for drag radials myself. I'm running hp levels close to the members above with 99% street use. I've always heard that drag radials don't work well with four speeds? Any truth to this, or is it an old wive's tale? Thanks!
I've heard that too.
Seems that drag radials want to dead hook, very difficult to do with a stick. True slicks can work well with a bit of spin off the line. Once a drag radial spins, it almost has to be pedaled to get it hooked up. Slicks usually dont.
(I have m/t et street pros, but I don't have a stick, so I don't know how true the "no Dr's for a manual" is.)
