Steve, I hear you..I really do. I'm going to get my short throw first and see how fast I can get on DOT's. For wheels I was thinking about 18's instead of going down to 15's. (If I get wheels) I do like the WOT box though.
Alan, I think you need to get hankooks. I've heard a lot of people saying the same thing about the F1's.

If you eventually go with an 18" drag radial, go with the M&H 305/45/18. It is the right height and right compound to hook you car. A 15" would work better, but the M&Hs are the BEST as far as 18" sizes go.

I kow you want to go as fast as possible on street tires, I was the same way in my car when I first started taking it to the track. When it was making 530ish rwhp I went to the track one day and made a pass just like normal, and at the top of second gear I lost traction and almost hit the wall. I was being very careful (I thought) and as soon as it spun I got off the throttle, but it still slid over and almost left a nice red stripe on the concrete wall. That afternoon I went home and ordered some drag radials... Best money I ever spent. I am just saying BE CAREFUL man!! Thats a lot of power to be pedaling on an already slippery track, and if it breaks loose down track it doesn't take a blink of an eye for it to get out of shape. Your car is WAAAYYYY too nice to see it get messed up!

The reason I would like to stay with the 18's is so I don't have to get the ReLo brackets and when I don brakes I want to do all four corners and 15's won't work.
Thanks again Steve.
