I just wanted to hear what everyone else believes in the best drag radial... so please leave your opinion!!

Currently I am running the NT05R (315/35R20 on stock wheels) These are awesome tires. I launched on nitrous and cut a 1.83 60ft and went 7.67 in the 1/8th and 9.76 in the 1,000ft. (CAI, exhaust, NX 150shot, and can tune)

I tried to shave some off that 1.83 but..

The right side halfshaft didn't agree with harder launch.. (4,500rpm clutch dump)

Meh.. it was holding 3,500rpm clutch dumps all night.. figured it would hold a 4,500 dump.. but oh well. took maybe an hour to swap the halfshaft out.. and I got them at a good price.. Going to upgrade the halfshafts and replace the Trailing arms and Toe Rods as well as get the diff/cradle bushing kits... Gonna see how well stock drive shaft holds up to 550whp!

A good friend once told me "If you never break anything, you never really drove your car."

I'm a M/T fan, I've gone 1.35 on a set of 325x15's.

driveshaft will be fine, its the bolts that shear off..problem you will fine down the road with 550rwhp is the 1 wheel spin, these posi are not strong posi rears with drs and that much power, if you really want to save money in the long run, put the 1500+ for axles towards a 9in rear kit with axles and driveshaft and real posi gears and resell your stock rear...all said and done you will be ahead of the game.imo
