Default track and street results w/toyo tq's

These are 275/40 17.
Worst runs were at 18 lbs, best runs at 15 lbs
First run 12.68 @ 109 with a 1.99 60ft
several runs that sucked with 2.0x 60 fts. Flashing the converter off idle yeilded the worst results.
Best runs were after some big burnouts.
12.50 @109 1.88 60 ft leaving at 1500 rpms
12.45 @110 1.78 60 ft leaving at 1800 rpms
Big improvement over the sumi's, but not as good as my ET Streets (1.6x 60 ft.)

On the street I can't get them to hook at all when not heated up. After warming them up they don't spin as hard and they spin very little in second.
I am going to remove the front sway bar and get a torque arm and hope that will help.

I love these tires on the street. I figured they would have done a bit better at the track.

Don't you have the 315? I would think that would make some difference...
