well..275 and 315 nittos aren't enough, so i guess i could go 275/17 M/T but i would rather just go to a 16 and not worry about it..

Yeah might as well. What I mean though is that I probably won't run them with bolt-ons because I will have a cam swap done this coming May.

Does your car hop at all or anything Jordan? With 245 Nittos I was able to nail 1.7 60s with slightly less than your current mods. Albeit, at BMP vs IRR. At IRR with the 245s I was only ever able to get a 1.85 60' I think.

no..but i never really launch it hard..my typical run is footbraking to 1krpms and then rolling into the gas pretty slowly..anything else and i seem to jsut light them up and run a 2+ 60'.

I've been waiting on some packages though and they finally showed up today. Installed relocation brackets, LCA's and an adjustable panhard bar
