This is sad. I decided to use slicks (225/45/R15) on my stage 1 hoping to break into the damn 14's, but no luck. I was running PIG RICH and my best run was:

R/T - .577
60' - 2.355 ON SLICKS!!!x(
1/8 - 9.817
1/4 - 15.223 @ 90.58mph

I think i got big headed about the slicks thinking they'd do all the work for me, and just gave it all the rpm i could. I've pulled 2.4 60' times on regular 195/85/R14 tires but i'd work the rpm on my launch of course since lots of wheel spin happens. However, with the slicks i didnt really work with the tires, instead i just launched at 4k rpms and instead of holding the rpm letting the slicks grip, i floored it and it only resulted in wheelspin, but still grabbed a lot better of course than reg tires (really felt the difference).

Anywho, my best 60' was 2.317 w/ a 15.295 1/4mile time. Next time I hope to do better on those 60' times and hopefully break into the 14s. Oh, and my axels held up just fine!! :thumbsup
