^I've heard a lot of good reviews about the Mickey Thompson ET Street radials, they should be worth looking into.

For sure with slicks or drag radials. I've heard that sound before crossing the line. Once you hear the power drops of like crazy like you let off or something.

If you have the time check your spark plugs make sure the tips are not damaged.

that might be deteonation man.... make sure you drop some 104 octane boost...4 or 5 of them in your car since Cali has low gas ratings to ensure you are safe while beating on it at the track.

my two cents. if it sounds like crackling, static type of choking... its detonating man. be careful...
