No I got a set of really used MT ET 255/50/16s they seem to hook the slighest bit better than my streets....More tire is needed though IMO...At least a 275 + ...I had fun and that's all I'm really looking for and I'm happy as **** about the 7.98...Oh and it was 87.24MPH on that pass...After the Mono Leafs , Drag Shocks ,275 + series New DRs , and front coilovers go on I'm sure I'll do better...Plus this is all new to me so maybe once I get a lil more comfortable I'll do better too...

Going to a street car shoot out this weekend and I'm hoping for some better ETs and possibly better 60ft... I'll update after I do some passes tomorrow at the track.

I have a hard time with traction and can't launch very hard...But I'm still tweeking it and have a good feeling that tomorrow night I might go a little faster even though I'll be on street tires...

Well the track was extra slippery last night for everyone... Only got a 8.9ET with 2.3 60ft @84.11mph..... I literally spun the whole way down the track...I'm new to racing but since I got that 84.11mph and was spinning wouldn't that mean I could do a lot better than that with a dead hook ??? And get a much higher mph and better ET?? The reason I ask is because with that 7.98ET @ 87.24mph I was being easy and hooked ok...Hopefully that makes sense.
