I have a Jag rear with 3.55 gears with a Detroit locker. My new motor is a 454 FE with iron heads that have been port matched to the manifold and produces 470 HP and 580 FT. I told the builder I wanted a streetable motor with very little maintenance that I could drive everyday if I wanted to. I am running MT Street Drag radials. My car from a rolling start will spin the tires up to the rev limiter in 1st and about half through 2nd gear but then it gets interesting real quick.  .
I don't know how someone with "regular" tires can get ANY traction. 
I love the big numbers too but in the real world what good is it if it won't hook????  |
Hooking on the street is pointless, unless you were planning on drag racing from stop lights. The added power is seat of the pants feel when punching it from 40 mph.
