The OP needs a set of drag radials or slicks, I raced on street radials last night and when they start spinning the time it takes for them to recover you lost the race. My plan was to drive out of the whole and roll into it in 1 st gear, which worked, BUT on the 1st to 2nd gear change it blew the tires off, then your done. From what the OP describes here I wouldn't worry, I'd bolts some slicks on there and go for it.

uh, nope

you didn’t drive a manual shift Muncie 4100 lb anything with an open 3:08 diff to those times.

I know you’re amazing, but not that amazing

My 1/2 ton long bed truck has a Turbo 350, when I ran those times there was ZERO wheel spin, my tires were Hoosier 30x9 CO6 radial slicks. My NA truck is much quicker today with its new rear end. The mild 327 will be replaced by a 355 this winter. BTW two outing ago on street radials I ran a 2.01 60, shifted to 2nd gear blew the tires off, waited for them to recover, got back into it, ran to the 1/8 mile, and coasted through the last 1/8 mile and ran 13.90s @ in the 70 MPH range.
