I think you should consider tire compound more. For example i have a stock 06 with Falken RT-615s all around and they are only 245s but i dont complain about 1st gear traction unless it is below freezing out.

Also at the track with the tires i ran a best of 13.00 @ 109 with a 2.0 60ft. For the other 5 runs i was running 13.1s but consistently putting down 2.0 60fts and bear in mind this was my first time to a drag strip ever.

I don't know why your buddy's says LS6 on it unless he, or maybe the owner before him (If that's the case) bought an LS6 sticker and did so.

They say "LS1" but they have the LS6 Intake Manifold.. I don't think the LS1 Intake Mani's were used since like 2000.

I fit a 275 Nitto on the back with stock 17 inch rims .. No rubing .. Ran 13.1 on a 1.9 60' No power mods... I know a friend that 60'ed into the high 1.5s on the stock 17s with a 275 MT ET Drag Radial.. But with the MT the fenders had to be rolled and drag bags where put in with minimal PSI..

I love the raked look to

For the strip, I have M/T ET Street bias plys mounted on stock 17s. Even with the fenders rolled and Pedder's 0-drops, it still rubbed when launching between 4-5k. Hooked like a MO FO though.

I now have drag bags installed, and just need to get back to the track. Hard to do when it's rained the entire month of October. Rake look FTW.
