You will be slower that you would run with an LSD

Even if you can manage a nice start (without the LSD), just wait until you shift to second. With that much HP, if you don't ease-up a LOT on the gas, you will fishtail...guaranteed. The LSD will allow you to be more aggressive on the shift, saving mucho time.

I have ran on Street Tires with my current set up ( no LSD ) and my first run i didnt really let up at all... lol and defently didnt have traction but did not fishtail. My 2nd run i didnt do to bad. I had much more traction due to feathering the gas and only dumping at about 3500 rpm. Im just trying to gauage how these new drag Radials will do without LSD? And Is warming the Tires Possible on a Twin Turbo Base Model ( without LSD).

You can still get decent traction with a base. I managed a 1.81 my first night out on slicks in my base model. You definitely need to be careful of how high you launch because with that much power traction will be a little tougher than my NA set up. good luck though!
