With a 6 inch lift and the mods I have what size drag slicks should I go with. Would smaller rims and tires work? Should I get wide tires? I dont know.

Why would you want slicks with a 6 speed???? I run 12.2's and 12.4s all night with stock tires.

He says he has a NADP race tranny, that thing shouldn't break!! I cant wait too hit the track this summer with my handshaker, i need too prove a to a few ppl that if you shift properly that these g56's can be as fast as an auto with similar mods!!

With having to let off to shift and droppin boost because of it I really doubt that a manaul trans will be as quick as auto. Autos have a huge advantage on the drag strip IMHO. I would be .4 to .5 faster if I had the Allison. I was launching boosted in 4th gear 4wd to get the time in my sig. That being said giver heck! Drag racing is fun. Anybody can just mash the throttle and hold the wheel straight! It takes talent to do it with three pedals and both hands flying around like crazy!
