if it lasts indefinitely i would be pleased 
last 4 passes last year were 1. push no water 2. push a little water 3. push a little more water 4. push too much water;
I think i am within 1-2psi of maxing my turbo so just the head change may do it, but this year I just want to be able to run at max without the water thing happening so i can concentrate on other stuff, like applying this little tire all the way down the track, working on suspension etc.
I would like to see consistant high 1.3's out of these tires and i think they can do it if i 'do it' right.
other than this the car is getting 'some' weight dropped off it, 100# or so and only 50 of that will go to the bottom line with the front half cage stealing 50 or so back from me.

Verdad Gallardo Its always a bitch juggling the weight around, I would like to do an LSX block but that 100+ pounds is a killer, then add an A2W plus I just added 55lbs with the 25.5 cage.
Its nice to have that piece mind head gasket-wise since you drive yours everywhere, me I can take a little leakage and I can swap head gaskets in a couple hours if I'm in a hurry. All you can do with the tires is put as much weight in the rear as you can really, I'm pretty sure you will get the 60 foots where you want to be, just takes some experimenting..

+1000, Drop some weight out of that tank.
ERL Performance is the name of the company that does the block work. I find it interesting how they welded the extra bolt holes on there. I guarantee a ton of work goes into doing something like this!
