Nope, don't plan on it either

After getting the radials working, I will more than likely NEVER run a slick ever again. I may throw a set of 315's on the car next year to mess around in the 1/4, but we will see.

Thanks Andy! We both have had some pretty good luck this year when it comes to how our cars have ran.

LOL. I think you have that wrong superman

Thanks Justin for all of the help getting me started on the dry tuning and power management. Had it not been for you being on speed dial, I probably would have switched back to a slick But you were right, by the end of the season I have the tuneup down good and the power management is the KEY to everything.

Now its time to get 300 lbs outa this bitch and run with you guys
