New drag radials and bmr trailing arms?

What should I expect from my from Mickey Thompson et streets combined with the better quality trailing arms??? The eagle f1's aren't the best for drag racing, and spun for days. Is there a dramatic difference?

I could not even turn over Hoosier DRs out of the hole and ETs are supposed to be better. I was running 3.91 gears with the SS TR6060.

Sounds like a big difference!

I love my MT ET Streets S/S, I couldn't believe how much of difference they make. I'm able o launch at 4,500rpm at the track and 3,400rpm on the street with zero wheel spin. I can floor it at 30 mph in first gear and it just hooks. I'm currently at 498 rwhp.

It makes since to do the toe links also with the trailing arms as your in the same areas, also the upper a arm delrin bushings is a nice upgrade for the rear. The trailing arms will limit the wheel hop to the point its gone........

Actually, the only bushings I did not change were the LCAs, so I'm sure that contributed. The UCA bushing is a bit of a pain to get out, so BMR also makes an entire unit that just bolts in very quick and easy. Might be worth the added price.

The trailing arms will really help a lot with wheel hop, but they also help the launch even if you don't have that issue.

As for the MTs, yes they are worth it. I had 647 RWHP/726 RWTQ and with Nitto 555s 305s I couldn't get much traction. Switched to the MT ET2 and it was hook and go. Excellent DR!
