    Drag Radials will get rid of a bunch on the street.

    At tire like ET Streets or Slicks with a flexible sidewall will eliminate hop at the track

    I have the stockers back on and have a pile of low 11 and high 10 second timeslips.

    Wheel hop kills the shafts.

    The stockers have held up with the slicks? Have you or are you going solid?

    I believe the 03 shaft are different than my stock 99 shafts. If so should i at least upgrade to those stock shaft?

    Yea the 03/04 are stronger.
    I am taking a break from mods for a while. I probably will do the solid next fall. Or I may just run the stockers until they break.

    Thanks for the help with my desicions. It almost sounds like it may be more cost effective to go solid

    The 99 Cobra IRS has 28 spline shafts, the 01/03/04 are 31 spline. I have a set of raxles in mine to work with the 28 spline IRS.

    However if you plan on doing gears then just jump up to a 31 spline carrier when you do the gears and then use the 03/04 shafts. I am also running the Detroit True-Trak in my 99 IRS and I love it. Be careful on the stock 99 shafts with slicks or ET Streets, the outer spline is where these break...then the wheel gets a little crooked, not good if you are moving fast when it breaks. However most of them break right at the line.
