Question time for tires

I went to the track for my first 1/4 mile pass yesterday. I have a 99 6# Pulley 4 program chip filter and traction bars and safety loop stock F1s stock rear 355 stock 80mm. I was roasting the F1s all day long. On the street program feathering it out of the start my best time was 13.25 and I Still was not hooking. If I could have hooked and kept it wot all the way from start to finish I felt the truck had the power to get me into at least 12.8. But I wanted to see what it would do on the F1s. I need to know all the different tire combinations I can use for street/and strip and rim sizes and tire sizes and brands like E/t streets or B/f Goodrich TA drag radials also I want to try to match all 4 rims even if the front and back are different sizes so they look the same. I appreciate all the help you guys can give me and any pictures because I have the power to ge into the 12s but I dont want to bolt on drag slicks. Thanks

What was your 60' time? You can score a 1.9x pretty easy on fresh F1's.

It cant be that hard. I got 2.0's all last year with fresh all the way to bald F1's. With some more power 1.9 should be obtainable.

I have Nitto 555R's on the back of my truck and love em. 1.7 60' times out of those, which means .4 reduction in ET over F1's.
