Might want to build that rear a little bit before you start running either one of those.

youve got a ways to go before you need to worry about running slicks.
lol

and yes you should have your rear end built before you even consider slicks or youll be walking home.

Slicks will still benefit him. But I agree with lance, get the rear built first. Then get a chip set up with a 2 step and launch off the limiter. For 15x10 rims, get 26x10x15 MT slicks. For MT ET streets, get 26x11.5x15. They have all the measurments on their site.

Some good choices are Eaton, Cobra 31 spline, or Detroit.
