When you're through with the tires, I know a guy here in Houston who would like to borrow them for about 3/4 of a mile. :blueangel:
No problemo Steve!

I've got a set of ET streets (26X11.5) mounted on "16 centerline rims ,or a set of Nitto drag radial mounted on "17X9.5 ZR1 rims.

They are available to you anytime. :yesnod:

You should hit 1.7's with those tires easily on the right track.

I have had numerous 1.75 - 1.80 60' times in my car. You should have no problems. (Texas Motorplex)

I run 12.0 @ 119 with F1 Supercars and my mods are airbox and mufflers.

On ET streets I easily drop down in the 11's.

Your car will go down into the 11's with just a little better launch. Not to mention the tune that was mentioned earlier. If that cars still hasn't had final tuning......with that, your gutted cats , and slightly better launch.....I would not even think you would need gears. You should run 11.7 - 11.8ish no problem.


Congrats :seeya

Lets hope so!

I had Chris tweak the timing and fuel a bit yesterday.

I'll be hitting the track this Wednesday (weather permitting) to try out the new changes.

Once the cats are gutted we are going to do some track side tuning as well.

Thanks!
