Default Just installed GHL bullets...track times...

Well, as the title says I just put my 4" quad tip GHL Bullets on this weekend...they're everything I expected as far as build quality and they sound evil! Absolutely no interior resonance what-so-ever, at any RPM. But at WOT or revving it sounds incredible...really impressed. I'll try and post some pics tonight after work (work computer won't let me install my digital camera, lol) and a sound clip.

On a different note, went to the track yesterday and don't know if I'm running what I should be... best time was a 13.5 at 108. My 60ft time was like 2.1! My only mods are the exhaust and removed the air box cover. Running 295 Kuhmo MX's on the back. Any suggestions on how I can improve my launch?!?! I'm know I'm pulling hard b/c on the way home from the track I got into it with a Z and stayed dead even with him though 2nd and 3rd gear from a roll before we had to slow down...

Drag radials or ET streets.
2.0-60' is typical for street tires.

fstrthnu01 - I have been looking at the quad GHL with bulls-eye tips, but can't decide between the 3.5 or the 4.0 - How much room did you have left with the 4.0s installed?

I guess I can wait until later to see your pic, bu I have money to burn and I want them now - lol (hopefully forum vendors don't see that last note)...

I have a pretty good amount of room left over...I'll post a pic tonight for you. I got the 4" rolled tips instead of the bullseye ones. Just personal preference I guess.
