more info please (stall rpm, 60 foot time, etc). The mph in the 1/8 should be easy mid 8 second times with a good hook (my Formula went 8.32 at 85.80 mph on my 12.89 pass in sig, and I have a stock convertor).

MPH seems about right, ET is crap - but you already know it's the tires. My car has a few more mods than you and has recently been 7.81 back to back in the 1/8. My 1/8 MPH is 88-89. I have the same converter in my car for comparisons sake.

As I posted above, my 1/8 mile times on a good pass were 8.32 at 85.80 mph with a 1.93 60 foot time, and your car has the mph mine does, so with a good hook and a clean run mid 8s should be no problem.

I'd check out some drag radials, M/T Sportsman Pro or E.T. street for the hook!

Ryan, the guy with the red 5.0 vert in the club, uses 555 Nittos and ran a 9.54. Not bad for a stock vert with just 4.11s.

Nick, the guy with the green 99 Cobra vert, just has 4.11s and on 555 he ran an 8.80 yesterday. That car is ******* QUICK for a 99.

Those 555 aren't as good as the 555R, but I'll be damned if they aren't better than my KDWS hahahaha.

I never noticed any of my MPHs. We'll see what happens next time when I have the LTs/ORY and a dynotune and I actually know how to drive on the track haha.
