They will stick good enough to break something if the track is prepped well. You will be shocked how much better they are than even top street tires. My guess is on a 12 sec crossfire, you may not even be able to spin them off the line. I use a 245/45/17 on the Datsun with about 450ft/lb of torque. A wider tire on the crossfire with a bit less torque should provide plenty of stick for whatever you can throw at it. Good luck! edit; scratch the crossfire comment, I see you are in a 32 with the same 245 size I use. Just set it @ 25lbs and romp on it and see what happens. Adjust from there.
lookin to see you in al on the 23 so you can help me!!! it should be a ton of fun just hope the weather cooperates.
as for spinning off the line my 32 has so much low end torque i cant launch the street tires at all!
we need to run the 32's together! my buddy on here goodgenes79 has to work so i dont have a comparable car to run against. our mods are very close
