Slicks will do that. Hold the wheel straight and ride it out. Its sort of like riding in a boat. The back end will move around a good bit.

Quicksilverado is right. First time I had slicks on, I almost pissed myself as well. Mine started doing it about 90mph. It is also due to low tire pressure as well. Remember, slicks will hook with more pressure compared to drag radials, because they are stickier. Might try airing them up a little next time to see if it helps with the top end wobble, I know it helped mine.

What psi ?

i would start off with 25 psi and go down from there.2 psi at a time when it hooks then you will be good.i have seen trucks have 28 psi and hood and was running in the low 10's

I start at 18 psi. If the track holds I leave it there. Normally have to drop it to 15-16 psi. Make sure both tires have the same pressure or it can cause the truck to pull one way or the other. Just hold the wheel straight and the back will follow. Its a good idea to check them during the day also. If one tire is in the sun and the other one is not. The one in the sun will have more air pressure after a while. The tire pressure will also go up if you are hot lapping from the burnouts.

Yeah, I check my pressure after each run when hot lapping and usually allow 2-3 lbs when cold for expansion. I couldn't get near 15 psi..was swerving near 20.

My 4 link rear may not go well with wide slicks ?? I don't know what to think ?? Would like to try some skinnier slicks but would need to sell these.

Make a few passes and gradually increase the speed up top. It just takes some getting used to.
