Red face Mud flaps?

What would be the best mud flaps as far as ease of installation/durability? Truck is never off road, but with the amount of HP im putting down now, I am getting rubber/track glue on my rear fenders when I do my burn outs at the track.
Thanks for the info.

I use these, they are fiberglass reinforced rubber, held on by 6 stainless self tapping screws.

Sorry, thought you were poking fun because I drag race a 3.7!

Well, where to start? 3.7L 4x4. I first gutted the exhaust (muffler and resonators) replaced with flowmaster super 44, next was colder spark plugs, power wire, CAI, 180 thermostat, HHR fan, Hemifever canned tunes, and smaller 27" mickey thompson ST radials for the track, and weight reduction (spare tire, and reese hitch, jack, 1/2 tank gas). Truck originally was running 18.93-18.36 stock. Now, the fastest its ran was a 16.75 two weeks ago. So far I am very pleased. I am going to do the hipotek TB, and get it tuned on a dyno this winter.

Yes, I have, but a couple of people acted like i was crazy. I had heard one or two people talk about putting the cobra svt #39? injectors in. Will this actually help horsepower? I had heard backwoods say the truck felt peppier, but i havent seen anyone make any real hp claims. I think for now im going to stick with the TB, as I know this is more power for sure.
