Cosmo sounds like a good set up, let let me know how it does at the track and dyno numbers. Can't find a ton of info on track times especially.

Some type of drag radial for sure. Some wear faster than others. Have a mileage in mind?

If you don't care much about handling then something like a MT drag radial will work well. There's others as well

I'd go with the MT drag radial.. wears faster but hooks way better than nitto 555r. I have never had any luck with nittos honestly, some people do. Any tuning or dyno numbers with the v4 yet? Which heads did you go with also? Not sure if you mentioned that yet.

412rwhp with stock 241 heads and bolt ons? Those are great numbers going through a stalled auto.

Thanks for the update. Let me know how you like that cam. It should pull hard.

You have a shitty tune then. With a good tuner that cam has very few driveability issues.

Subframe connectors, Lower control arms, adjustable shocks to help transfer weight, short adjustable torque arm. All of those items will help keep the wheels planted. You get the car out to the track yet? How is driveability so far?

Also you said 412rwhp. Was that with stock 241 heads? How about the intake? Ls6 or fast?
