Actually, I dont agree. My BFG drag radials or 555r didnt hold @3k launches. I wasnt going to throw more money in to some MT et streets. My slicks hold 4500rpm launches and thus launch the legend my best 1.8 60ft's. Document another Legend anywhere without slicks that can launch 1.8-1.9's. I launch N/A by the way.
Granted I have the TQ of a 3.5 and he's got a 3.2, that just means he'll be able to launch higher within his powerband. For the price he's paying, its practically a gift and further proof I know Legends in and out.

A good street tire will be fine for up to around 300whp and your not even close to that. I'm not trying to be a dick or tell you what to, I'm just letting you know that they are not necessary for you to get off the line or pull good times. Especially if your going to pussy foot it off the line.
Under 300 Whp and with a heavy ass car you Really don't need them. If you do use them to their fullest potential and take off the line at 3500-4000 rpm. You could possibly break things like stock axles, or shred your final drive.
I've been racing and around drag racing for many year with cars ranging from 200 hp to 900 hp. Believe me or ask DV8, they are not imperitive for an excellent run, just air the street tires down and learn how to drag race with those untill you really need slicks.
