It's more than stock tires. Shepherd runs 1.3 60's on 26x8x16" slicks which isn't a very big slick. It looks like a stock sized tire from the side. On top of that he doesn't even launch it at it's full potential which is why he pulls higher trap speeds than most of his competitors around the same ETs.
