Just got around to mounting my new slicks just in time for the weather to start cooling off so I can get back to the track. Hoping some people on here have used these and can maybe give some pointers on setup. Tires are M&H cheater slicks 26x11.50-16 mounted on 16x10" Holeshot holestars. Haven't really messed with launching on slicks but am planning on starting out around 20psi and launching off the 2 step around 4,500 rpm. Cars a '98 cobra with a single turbo, t56 magnum, and an IRS out of a 2003 cobra.

Here's the car on it's street wheels, widened saleen lemans. Never launched on the drag radials as I was too scared to snap an axle and had read bias plys are the way to go for manual trans and the IRS.

Anyway, looking forward to getting back on the track. Best I've managed is a 11.6 @ 135 with a 2.1 sixty foot. But with the 2 step and some bias plys I'm hoping to get that to a 1.6-1.7 sixty and get the car down into the 10s.
