Give em hell tonite AC!! Don't get discouraged if your ET isnt great your first time out...I'm really interested in your mph...And BTW I run a similar wheel set up except I have the 15x10 Pro Stars...I like the look too...

good MPH, just need to get the 60 ft down and it'll be in the mid 11's.

A 1.60 60 ft would put the car in the 11.35 range.

Was going to post the same thing...Also an M6 will probably like a 28" tall tire a bit better giving you more sidewall...I forget what gears you're running and the 28"s may take away some of your gear...Thats a nice first time out with a new set up!...Most of the folks I know who are into racing with M6s use a 4.30 to 4.56 gear with a 28" tire...You're in a good position having had your car tuned on the dyno...You can look at where you're making power and look at what rpm you're crossing the traps... it gives you a great starting point for gear/tire swaps...


For now I'd just have fun learning the car and the track and then play with the above suggestions later if you feel like it...

Doubt it My96z. Fits my brakes just fine though, Front and rears

Im running 4.10s so I think a 26 is best for right now.

Yea they stick out about 1.5" with that 10.5" tire. I had to adjust the squat out of the car.
