Those rims are definitely slowing you down and if you did not spin you might have shaved a tenth or 3 off as is IMO.... The 17's will help and you have more rubber but they should be DR's IMHO.....J

I ran against a s/c saleen, he ran a 12.9, but i was within a car length of him. Got that on video, ill try and post it up.
Ummm, 12.9 and 13.9 is more than a car length me thinks.

your 60' is terrible.... you can cut at least 1/2 a second there which will = almost a full second in the 1/4!!! some 17's with a stickey tire will get u most of the way....

andl if the Saleen was sleeping at the tree it could have been a car.. other wise no way.. a one second diff @ the 1/4 with u traping 103 = 150 feet! that's 8 or 9 lenghs

well me and a friend have been fighting for bragging rights for a while now. he has a 260rwhp 240sx.. and his best run was a 13.8, mine was a 13.9. so at the moment he has the bragging rights, but april 4th were going out there again, and HOPEFULLY i get low 13's. =D

Slicks will shave off a lot of time compared to what you are running. Don't expect a whole lot when you haven't done a whole lot.
