Default Heading to Commerce tonight

Finally heading out to get 1/4 mile times since the cam install. I will post the times tomorrow.
It was 13.4 @ 109 with a 2.0 60" before the mods. Can't wait to see what it does now.
I have a question about my tires though. The NT05's have been on for about 9 months and 8k miles. I plan to drop them down to about 18psi.. Should I be concerned at all with thier mileage?

Is anyone else heading there tonight?

Thanks,
Bill

It was my first time on a track but the car ran consistent till I pushed it too hard on the last run and spun the tires. I couldn't break below 2.0 60" with the run craps on it. Should be a different game this time. I hope.

So the night didn't go as planned. I expected to come home with slips in the 11's Everyone was complaining about bad trac prep and poor traction.
I'm sure my issue was a combination of track prep and my lack of experience. I could not hook up to save my life. Started off at 20psi and ended up at 16psi, didn't seem to matter at all. I had better 60' times when it was stock and on runcraps. ??
I am low tech and can't seem to get the slip images to show up, so her it is.

RT- .350
60'- 2.196
330- 5.614
1/8- 8.309
mph- 92.06
1000- 10.625
1/4- 12.577
mph- 115.64

I ran 4 passes and they were all about the same. I tried to launch from 0 rpm, 1000, 2000 and 3000 rpm's and it didn't change.

I was doing the same ET as a guy with a 2013 427. He should have been faster than me me. He could not hook up either.
Time for some sticky mickey's with a higher aspect ratio I think.

Much thanks to Josh at Spartan performance. I love what you did to this thing man. It's awesome.. Heads in a few months.
