No I'm on street tires (nitto 555's). I think instead of DR's I'm going to run some 16" wheels with some 28" ET streets. I got 4.10 gears so I think I could really benefit from a 28" tire. How hard is it to take off the sway bar? I've heard that it helps, never took one off before though.

Wow I didnt know you have 4:10's!!!!!!!!!! You would be suprised how well some M/T DR's hook especially some 315's and the sway would take you no longer than 10 minutes to take off and thats including jacing the car up its very easy. I think if you had M/T DR's and the sawy ar off it would hook.

Hey Tpivette, once the weather gets nicer i'm only about 45 minutes north of you. plenty of people meet up on sat/sun, just gotta pick who you want to race. pm me.
Whattaya got done? Once the temperature hits 40 or so I'll run you.
yeah, the weather has to get nicer before i take the car out. and DE has to stop pouring salt all over their roadways everytime a single flake of snow falls. no way im letting that crap get all over my car

maybe in a few months or so... everything is usually good by late March/early April

Yeah I wish it didn't have 4.10's. It don't need them. I'll take the sway bar off next time I go to the track. If I had known it was that easy I would have already tried it. I may end up running some mickeys. It would save me from having to haul slicks down there and then swap them out at the track. Thanks man.

Sorry for the hijack OP.

Yeah, run the Hoosiers. They were the only thing beside slicks that I could launch hard and hook on.
