As to will they work? Well that depends how well the chassis/suspension works now. If your car doesn't hook consistently now on marginal starting lines, work on it until it does, otherwise you're wasting your time and money.
the car is very consistent right now... with little Pheonix 28.5x9 slicks , it will do 1.50-1.51 all day... this is with a mild 455, footbrake, 8'' converter(4200), leaving at 2000... it has cal tracs... front suspension is stock, except for Comp Engineering shocks( i intend on trick springs in the future). I was more curious if they needed the trick springs to help make the tires work... i may just go with 9x30 Pheonix bias again, for now....not sure yet...
