Details on tires?

Hoosier drag radials. 275/50/15. I wanted to try them out since they are almost 9lbs a piece lighter than the Mickeys I've always used.

I made it to the track last Sat to try out new parts to see if it's faster. It was a nice day, sunny with temps early on in the low 50's with a starting DA of about 700. It took me four runs to get tire pressure and shocks dialed in. The Hoosier tires I like better because even if it spins they regain traction much faster than the Mickey's ever did. By the time I had it dialed in the DA was about 1900 with temps in the low 70's. I was pretty happy, car still ran a 10.904 @ 123.54. According to my ET prediction software running against last years runs the car should have run 11.07. So my trap speed is up and 60ft times are at a new best of 1.475 unfortunately the DA did not cooperate for a new PB.
