Thanks Drew,

Yea, 305's would be best for the really low end torque monsters ala. Mustang GT500's and such.

BTW erm, Drew gives good advice regarding the D/Rs. They need to be hot to stick good so a good burnout is needed. I personally liked to skip the water box as water would splash up and drip in front of the rear tires at the line.
