You obviously are getting solid power down on the last half of the track judging by the 32mph increase from the 1/8th trap to 1/4 trap. Just not sure why your 1/8th trap is so low... For reference my 1/8th trap is in the low 90's.

Yeah man my car was a whole new animal about half track, my first pass of the night my tires broke loose at half track when i reached 11lbs of boost

Do you need a mini tube for that big of a tire? I know the rim will fit but what about the tires?

Yea theyll fit, I was gonna go 28x12.50 but it would be reallllly close and probably the 11.50 is all I'll need. Might have to loose the lowering springs but the wheel is a 15x10 6.5 Backspace so all should be good.

Really? So they must really help with weight distribution and traction then. I will definitely have to get them then

what gears are you running?

if you go with a converter, lower control arms and a sticky tire I think you'll be surprised how much of a difference that will make

I have 3.73's i am going thru the traps at 6k rpms. And you think itll make a big enough of a difference to get me into the 11's?
And will it effect street driving a whole lot? I rarely race the car its a fun street car so i dont want to loose the ability to have fun with it on the street
