Paul, the brake lights coming on were either the pedal boucing or my big feet getting tangled up!

Rattling or shaking the tires is usually because of too low air pressure causing the tread to 'ball up' or overly wrinkle reducing the contact patch.

I think Bill C did a 10.X @130 with the nitrous[SOFT leave, D44, sweltering heat]. It's still hooked up on the car if I am not mistaken. that'd be fun to see that car go with a little giggle gas passing through the super ram. It's a small shot too, not to hurt anything.
