I could have gotten more runs out of the slicks but I was ready to add more power and thought I'd start off with new slicks this year. I actually had over 140 runs total, 130 or so with the supercharger. Can't beat that in my opinion.
For sure on the driveline shock, the DR really puts it to your axles and driveshaft. The slick is much more forgiving and still hooks up well. It’s much better suited for the track no question.
