Ok, since you have nitrous, I would go with a 26 inch diameter slick. The reason behind this is because you do not need a slick that will build up with horespower because nitrous is instant. If you have a turbo or supercharger, you would want a smaller inch diameter slick because they build power. Right now, I have a set of 23x8x15 M&H RaceMasters that I am using. I do now know if I am going to continue to use them because I am going turbo in the near future.
I would suggest checking out the Hoosier, M&H, and Mickey Thompson Slicks. Go to www.jegs.com and/or www.summitracing.com .

UNCDooD is right about the brand. I dump the clutch at 5500, any less and I bog, any more and I fry my clutch (still on stock clutch).

Would that size be good considering the following:
5spd
SC w/3.25" Pulley (Maybe 3.125 soon)
MEVI
Thanks!

Still paying the SC and 5spd off. My Credit Card is MAXED.

Nealoc, you mean to tell me that you rev the engine to 5500 and then you just let off the clutch and go? Man, that is insane......Do you still loose traction?

I'm going to go up high when I track it this weekend, I had used 5000rpms when I was a little less powerful. I'm just getting afraid now with over 400whp. My biggest issue is the 1-2 shift, I can still make the slicks spin if I bang shift it with 13psi in the slicks. Now that I have tubes and screws I am going to try lower psi, perhaps 11psi or so.
