I'm already running MT ET streets,with 10 lbs pressure,any ideas if the bars help,and what types? Also do you see a noticeable difference in your ET'S ??
Seems like I'm breaking loose about 50ft out and spinning the slicks on the 1-2 shift,lowering the pressure doesn't seem like a good idea,is it possible I'm running the slicks to low on pressure???
Good ET"s just want better
Appreciate any and all opinions

You're probably not heating them up enough. And, 10lbs seems way too low to be running. What do you have on your truck performance wise?? I think that the psi you have in them now is actually bogging you down. I was told a while ago that you want to try to run as much psi in the tires as you can without spinning. If that means that you run it at 25 lbs w/o spin and you are launching perfectly, obviously, there is no reason to lower your psi because you aren't going to accomplish anything else. As others say, just my .02 cents.
I know that Tundra uses Home Depot's suggested traction: sand.
For all my around town driving, I just put ~100 lbs. of sand in my bed. Helps with the every day driving: I don't have to worry about the rain so much, the occasional race, and it actually seems to help with speed bumps.
Just my .02.

Raise the pressure and heat'em up.
I use 18-20 psi in my 26 x 10.5 ET streets.
You might be getting some ballooning of the
tire which will lessen the contact pacth.
hope this helps.
