a buddy of mine let me try his slicks, I never went back since. You will never go nearly as fast as you can go with drag slicks. I ran 12.2 @ 126mhp with my sport 700's with 600rwhp on street tires and then I tried the slicks and my first pass I went 11.4. This was about three years ago when I first started drag racing, from then on I go to the track nearly every weekend and always run slicks. I know that you want to do it on street tire but IMHO I think you should run at the very least a Drag radial if you want a fast time. It's really a waste of time otherwise in my opinion. Believe me you are not the first to try running street tires. The sixty foot makes or breaks your time, the harder you shut out of the hole the faster you will run. Most hard core drag racers know the rule of thumb that I mentioned above.
Good luck at the strip and I hope you run well, have fun and be safe out there:)
