Default TMP test n tune - looking for wheel/tire setup

Hey guys,

Gonna hit TMP tomorrow for test n tune...anyone else plan on going?

Also, if you have a drag wheel/tire setup I can buy/borrow, let me know...I was gonna run a pair of et streets on 15" convos but the backspacing is wrong (tire sticks out passed fender) and the shank wheel lugs they came with washers are too thin (lug bottoms out on rotor)
I have the stock rear with stock 12mm studs.
Car is a 2002 Camaro

Let me know what you have, I'm driving to TMP from Oshawa, so can meet anywhere along the way tomorrow morning.

Cheers!

Didn't see this until today, I have a set you can borrow, the lugs nuts I have for them aren't cone shaped (they have washers) and only work with stock length wheel studs.
My car has longer studs and I need to order a set of open lug nuts for them.

On my 6th pass, it sounds like it shredded the ring and pinion teeth on the 1-2 shift...I don't think the 2.0 60ft times were ever gonna break anything, but that 1-2 shift has always been a killer, usually a little wheel hop there...
Kind of a good thing I didn't bring stickier tires or it may have broke @ first launch lol

Anyways, I have an S60 to take place of the 10 bolt and will be connected to an RPS twin disc, T56 magnum, PST 3.5" shaft, and topped off with a 27" Hoosier QTP...should be able to launch properly and never break again....I hope lol

Send me a PM when you plan on going.

Cheers,
Alex
