Don't know what I'm doing

Sounds like fun. Your 60's are not going to be good with a radial. Stick cars hit the tire too hard and the wall on a radial is too stiff. If you call MT, GY, or Hoosier they will all tell you not to run drag radials with stick cars.
A bias ply slick would be a good choice but remember you dont want to get a dead hook or you'll break stuff. Somewhere you need some give because the static pressure of your clutch is high applying the entire weight of the driveline on the tire hit. 833's are stout transmissions no doubt but running a stick is a balance between "some" tire spin, or "some" clutch spin. If you are going to street and strip the car then just get a pair of slicks and beat the daylights out of em' and have fun.
heres a good site too for more info. www.umtrnorth.com
Good luck, cant wait to see some video.:cheers:

took the words right outta my mouth...

loose the drag radials and get a set of bias ply's for it...radials and a stick are a no no...radials cant recover from the dump of the clutch and just spin (even some automatic guys have the problem)

my buddy's mustang is the same way, its a stick with dr's...watching his launch vids, you can see where the radials are limiting him...he's gonna switch to bias next season and all things the same i bet will run atleast a couple tenths faster and get his 60ft down

oh and btw, id stay away from MT, maybe try MandH and hoosier...i had two bad sets of sportsmans that wouldnt seal or balance, then a set of et streets that wouldnt balance...also had a friend with a set of et streets that would balance as well...this was all over the course of this summer, seems like MT quality control is going to the sh%&'s

good luck!
