RE: 1st Day at Track!!! (Took down '05!)
Wow! Seeing all these times really makes me wonder what my car is gonna run. Last year I ran a 14.4 with PI heads and the stock intake (which the ports dont match on) and street tires. I bought my car used and it makes me wonder what else my car already has done that I dont know about. I know that the car used to be super charged, but I can walk all over an 04 GT like its nobodies business. WEIRD!!

haha they're not THAT bad, but I know I need some better tires. What kind of tires and/or rims would you suggest for the track?

Dude, nexens suck... THey're like riding on rocks..
Get yourself some real nice tires for the strip and put them on your stock wheels. Cheapest way to lower your e/t.

hey, what was your 1/8th mile times?
i think you were launching at to high of rpm also... ive got suspension so this may be why but.... i was launching at 2200 rpm and i was spinnin a sh*t load and i dont have much for engine mods at all... no gears or anything. got real nice tires also, not DR's or anything though.

I would get a set of 15X7 weld drag lites with slicks and if you are not breaking 13's with ease i dont know what to tell you. My car is an 04 and i ran a 13.7 than a 13.5 with about the same mods as you (no rear yet, but next week there will be). But the drag lites are cheap and a very light rim... VERY light...
I actually ordered mine (should be in soon) for my back. The rims cost me about $150 a piece and than i bought a set of slicks from a speed shop in my city.
