Default Nitto's work for me!

Tonight was the first night that I got to use my new Nitto's. The last few times that I have been out at the track, I have been stepping lightly on the go pedal. RSA's still had tread, and my wallet still had no money. But the best that I ran was a 12.25 @ 144mph on those street tires. Well learning how to mash the pedal vs going easy takes a min or so to get used to. Muscle memory made me go slowly. Ah so we get over that. On with the Nitto's improvement. I turned a best of 12.09 @ 112.22mph, with a 1.811 60' time.

Mods thus far: lid, cutout, 75hp shot of N20, and a 3800 stall. Gears are 2.73's in the rear.

Thanks for listening to me ramble, I just thought that I would share.
