Those are very gooooood times on Nitto's. The best I ever ran was 11.72. on Nitto's, but not with the consistent times you had. I am switching to slicks hoping for better times. Again, very good times and I hope you ran faster. Best wishes. <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

thinking of buying some 15" nitto's for my welds hopefully can cut a better 60' with more of a sidewall.But was very impressed on how well the 17" hooked with 22psi. Was really trying to go 11.99 on them.Can't wait till sat. and MIR <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Normally I have 26x10.5x15 ET STREETS but decided to try to go 11's on radails and well the first time out I did it.Now all effort is to go for the bolt-on record with some luck I might get very close but will have to travel to a good track.

Thanks for the reply. That is a fast car for just bolt-ons. Sometimes I feel my car is slow compare to others on this board, but any way it is gobs of fun and maybe my turn will eventually. I was reading about S2 throttle body--some folks say it is worth a tenth or so, plus 1 to 2 MPH in the eight mile. I think I am going to try it out. Again, thanks. By the way, set a record on them Nitto's.....
