were you spinning badly before the nittos? 2.0 isnt to bad mostly stock. I say you will hit 1.9's with the nittos and go 12.7-8's in decent weather with good 60. 12's for sure

thats what I am hoping for. When I ran the 13.1 it was almost 90 degress so I am hoping to break 12s especially with the nittos. Yes I was spinning quite a bit. I guess the biggest difference will be that I should be able to launch harder that before. On the street tires I could only launch at about 700-800 rpm, and even then I would have to fight for traction.. Thanks

IMO, you're better off not stalling the stock converter when launching. Just stab the throttle. Anyway, I see no reason why you couldn't cut 1.8 60's on Nittos. Guys here have cut 1.8's on F1's.
