I'll be fair about this. I'll drive down to the office and turn around and head backup to the house and straight to the track for some more break in runs on the MT ET Radials. I'll be short mph at 10lbs but it should et.

And yes, it went to work 3 out of 5 days this week and dropped the kids off at daycare each day.

So 40 miles round trip to the office and 35 one way to the track with one stop to fill her up with 94 octane. Six passes in a thick 85 degree day on baby 275/50/15 ET Radials, and the same break in tune from last week still at 10psi, nets a 10.35s at 133.9 mph on a 1.5 60'.

I actually manage a 1.47 and a 1.48 60' but things had heated up enough by then that they were wasted going down the track.

I've been trying to keep in touch with MT about the 315's comming out but they keep pushing the date back, and of course won't let me pre-order.

fwiw even at 275 these outhook my old bfg 315 dr's

right you canmake ANYTHING drivable with the right kit! its even easier whenyou have a nice big capacity V8 to help you

i read about a turbo car (old mini lol) and the guy was running a standalone ECU. the ECU enabled him to run a electric boost valve. this ment that he could have look up table for boost presure for throttle vs rpm, throttle vs gear etc, etc. this made the car VERY easy to drive! bassically with lost of preactice you could matchthe boost presure for gear and set is so you could be flat on the throttle and get hardle any wheel spin!

it also ment that at 50% throttle you mapped soyou only got 50% boost and at say 25% you got hardly any! so the car drove more N/A that trubocharged!

sounded great to me and something i would concider for a HIGH output road car

thanks Chris.
