Drag Radials
My frined and I have a disagreement over wether or not you are supposed to heat up drag radials (specifically nitto 555r's) to achiteve maximum traction. My guess is that they are best at about 130'f. Help me win some money off this fool.

I have tried this with my camaro. I got better 60ft times with my Fuldas cold VS my nittos cold. And much better 60fts with the nittos hot VS the fuldas hot. Cold nittos suck. This was done in a automatic also so it is a consistand test.
