Re: wheelman, you were right
haven't ran it on the current setup, but with what it has, should go high 10s, low 11s at the absolute slowest, unless i managed to do something majorly wrong.
tires are kinda overkill for my power level i guess, but i got seriously tired of destroying radials, and having to fight against wheel-hop. The hoosiers 100% eliminate any chance of wheel-hop, so in theory i should not only launch better but break less, as the wrinkle wall reduces shock on the drivetrain

Very well said... Many people dont know that wheel-hop and brakeaing traction can break more parts than hard hooking....
Looks really nice...
Now take a rag and a can or two of BRAKE PARTS CLEANER red can and remove the white letters off the tires. It will keep you from getting pulled... Trust me...
Very clean and mean looking!

i think the cops that see it will probably too confused at what they saw to think to pull me over.. haha... they are DOT though, so i really don't care too much for getting pulled, though if they do pull me and find the tires to be legal they'll probably ticket me for everything else they can find.

Trust me, the DOT means NOTHING... They wont pass a tread depth brand new... Been there, got tons of tickets for it...
Just was trying to save you some hassle...
