Maybe this will help with the original question...searched the coldair archives, bnoon posted this May 2000:
"Borrowed a set of 225/50/15 BFG drag radials this spring, couldn't get a
good launch and that scared me (and my differential). I went back to my
Potenzas and ran .3 better. Also, ever have wheel hop coming out of a burn
out box? Not funny. Unless you have no wheel hop, or have a Quaife, stay
away from to much improved traction on these cars."
