I have et streets and love them. They hook on the street for me but I am not pushing the tire very hard. I have never heard anyone having problems with the et streets hooking. Most fairly fast cars still don't need a big burnout with them.
You shouldn't need 4 slicks unless you are upping the power for next year. You can run a 28" tire and f-bodies run single digit times on 28x11.5s fairly easily. You would be spending a good deal of waisted money putting 4 slicks on the truck. Just run 2wd or make sure the tires are the same height if you really want to run 4wd.

I really don't think I would pass tech with slicks on, unless I have the driveshaft loop, long wheel studs, and c-clip eliminators that are required by the rules.
Do the Hoosier's need a big burnout to heat up, or just a quick cleanup?
What other tires should I be considering, knowing that I DO NOT want to do any big burnouts to heat up the rubber?

I think the biggest ones used are the MT's and Hoosiers for truck and car guys that not Pro Stock, Comp and fuel LOL.. I havn't personally used the Hoosiers.. A friend of mine does, he doesn't do anything huge for a burn out, they hook like a ****.. Also I have talked to quite a few older guys that race, they swear that hoosiers are better for a heavy vehicle.. Is it true I duno, but heard it from more then 5 people... I am with them some of the other guys. No reason to get 4 slicks..

You could but if you hook hard with the slicks, you will have no reason to launch in 4 wheel drive.. Your gong to be limited to how hard you launch based on your converter. It is only going to launch so hard.. Slicks will hold your set up..
