Thats awsome, my nitto's will spin if I dump the clutch over 2200 rpm... but then again I also have 245 wide tires... but still...

You also have alot more horsepower with the SC!!!

mdvaldosta

Ahh but I only make 125 rwhp at 2200 rpm... you probably make 250 at 5k

I would definately go with the BFG. Nittos are nice, but the BFG rule!

chech the salvage yard and/or ebay to get a spare set of rear wheels. then buy Goodrich D/R's and then only put those wheels on before you go to the track/or to race. i would pay for this by buying Khumo's on all four corners for street use. these can be had at tirerack.com for less than $100 apiece. i'm too lazy to do the math, so you may be out of more money up front, but you would save in the long run.

MD, i have a friend that has the same exact problem you do(runs out of gear) and he has a set of D/R's mounted on a spare set of rear wheels. the D/R's he has have a VERY tall sidewall to add some gearing. he's not running as fast as you are, but in Texas he's running a 'non-adjusted to sea-level' 12.6 e.t. anyways, i'm sure you already thought of doing this, but if not, it could be a cheap way to put 'just enough' gear back into it.

Get BFG's and you will be getting new ones in 10,000 miles.

I am on my second set of Nitto's. First set was 257/40/17 on stock Bullitts, now 315/35/17 on my Cobras. I think I will be going with BFG's for my next set.
