are they a waste of time/money, or will they really help out launches and 1-2 powershifts?

Big waste of time on street tires. They'll only shock your street tires harder and make them spin easier. If you want better traction, get drag racing oriented tires ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I don't know. I was able to spin my wheels through 3rd with my 4.10's before my Global West LCA's. After I put them on I can't seem to get them to spin through 2nd. I feel a lot more bite. but that is just my car.

Lemme check out how complicated the IRS system is...if it's not too bad, we'll install em for you. Shops charge 80/hr for labor...we'll charge 20. PM me if you're interested. Late
