Looks like I might have to invest in a roll cage too. Did you do that on slicks or radials (my goal is to never have to use slicks)? Also, I have the shaker hood like you, so I'm assuming the Kenne Bell 2.6 should fit under that? I'm really worried about it because I like the shaker hood better than the cobra hood so much that I would actually not do the swap if it means losing my shaker...

I run MT ET Streets Drag Radials, 315/35/17, year round, and that's what was on the car for that pass. I actually think the KB 2.6 has too tall of a profile to allow for a shaker scoop to sit on top of it and still allow the hood to close properly.

Well I do have the eibach pro damper kit and the springs (though I've been told they're not all that great). And what's wrong with Nitto's?

NO !! it's not a good idea

its actually a pretty great idea. hit with about 50, it'll act like 100 since since your blower is hot and the cold nitrous will act 2-fold

lol I'm already convinced. This will be my summer project. I didn't know nitrous is cold. Does this mean I can do more passes without having to wait too long for my engine to cool?
