So you are running the aforementioned bias MT tire? How does the car drive last half of the track with the heavy fronts? Do you recall what tire pressure you ran?

Sorry I missed the bias ply. They make the ET Street R in bias and radial. I have the radial version...17 psi. Soft launch. 1.43 60' and on a rail to 143 mph.

Back when I was a manual, I ran the Hoosier slick with no 2 step. 4160 lb car. Best 60' was 1.57. It can be done, just takes practice. Definitely agree, slick for stick, DR for auto.

I have non beadlock. The tires do spin a little on the wheel but I have lifetime rebalancing from Discount Tire. About 2" of spin after 20-30 passes.

you think it would be worth it to just spend the money and buy the beadlocks then? how much of a difference do you think it would make on times?

None. IMO, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
