With your power, and those tires, how does it hook??I mean, i'm sure you can still blow the tires off, but can you roll in to the throttle fairly decently without any issues?
I will let you know once I get back to Maryland.

I sure I will still blow the tires off, but should definitely make a diff on a roll.
