Re: which STR on stock motor, 3.23's for the street? With a good suspension, you can run 1.65 to 1.75 60' time on the Nitto's. Last year I generally ran an average of around 1.70 with a good launch. It took me awhile to sort it out to run times listed above. I hope this helps. Cheers. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

As an example, my converter w/2800 stall and 2.0 STR will roast the Nittos off the line a lot of times. Believe me they are a thousand times better than my RSAs but they still spin quite a bit from a stop.

Re: which STR on stock motor, 3.23's for the street? Get the ST 3500 if you are going to have nittos. you have to step into just a tad but you can launch hard on the street and all out at the track. A SY 3500 would work awesome for the street, but you'll leave some track ET on the table.
