In my experience, slicks were much easier on the car than drag radials. The SHO has so much rearward weight transfer, when you dump the clutch, it's not like a RWD car on slicks with soft springs where it just hooks and goes. You can spin the slicks (at least I did) pretty substantially with anything over a 4k clutch drop. You could be more aggressive with the clutch take up than with drag radials, but I never ever side stepped it (and got it to hook good). I'd run it to about 3500 rpm, and just got a feel for going WOT the same time I released. It was actually very non-eventful, the car just leaves the line harder but the big key is with big power (n20, blower) you could pull through 1st gear without wheelspin, thats' where all the ET came from. I ran Hoosier quicktime pro 26x9.5x16. I sold them to josh when I moved from NY down here and he's run in the 12's in his car with them as well. If you like to run at the drags, and have some big power, I would highly recommend them. I usually ran them with about 12-14 lbs of air in them. Get the rear end stiff to keep weight on them ,and do a big burn out for heat, and it'll take off like no SHO on a radial ever will.
