First, anyone here run BFG drag radials on the street? Do they handle at
all? What's the life expectency?

Second, GT40P headers? Worth the cash? I can get some below cost... Worth
the time and money? (I have a 5.0, no cats, Mac H and Dynomax mufflers
right now...)

Thanks boys...

Brad

From what I have seen not to long. Of course it all depends on how you
drive it. I have seen them gone in 5,000 miles of street driving. If
street mileage is an issue the genral thought is that the Nittos are a
better choice. The downside is they won't grab as well at the track.

Do you have GT40P heads?

Then why would you want to buy GT40p headers? If you are planning to
upgrade you heads and can get a good deal then I guess you could stock pile
them until the upgrade, but if your not swapping heads to gt40ps you'll want
to stick with a standard type header.

In case you don't know the GT40p heads have a relocated spark plug so they
take a different header to allow for that new location.
