[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15684083, member: 7795"] Thanks for the info. Like Zyborg the early reports were that 17" Darkstars didn't fit and Racestar wasn't sure so many like myself went 18". I also have drag experience and you're doing it right now that more parts available, great to see. The bias ply is the right choice and we just recently have 17/18" choices. I'm selling my 18" DRs for the same tire you're using. Do you think the 9.5" works well? I have 18x10.5 Darkstars and wanted to change to 17x10.5" and same 28" ET Street Rs. On the clutch and gears, as Tony said the bias ply are helping you. I had my stock gears whine launching at track on stock tires! I've had 2 other sets whine after DR launches. One set up by Ford and second by Team Z, so a VERY good chassis shop. Also, the clutch protection maybe helping now too. Not helping 60' but saving parts. Once your tune removes clutch protection in the tune you will be VERY happy but your parts may not. Will be good to have another drag guy on this forum and I assume you can tell the 3.31s aren't the best choice. Good luck. -J [/QUOTE]
