Keep in mind that FAST is not only about choosing the right vehicle/engine package, it's about making the needed power to run into the 9's, then getting that power to the ground without blowing the tires off the rims!

I know how hard it is to hook a "basic" 455 street engine making around 550hp/600tq on 8" slicks or DOT's. I can't imagine trying to hook it up with bias ply tires, and imagine that there is quite a learning curve with any FAST combination to get them to run 1.5 60' times with those cars?......Cliff
