Default getting it tuned tomorrow... also drag radial question

im finally gettin a tune!! took off work and got an apponitment made... tomorrow a speed shop about an hour away is goin to tune it up and get me bak in business.... i figured it would be some fun to get hp and torque numbers.... then u can help me with my next mods... suspension and tires.... oh well my setup is full exhuast, u/d pulleys, 75mm bbk tb, C&L 76mm cai/maf, i got the my heads ported/polished and some valve work by thumper performance, i got a camshaft innovatoin cam, and also thumper performance ported/polished intake.... i also bought a NX nitrous kit that i will be running a 100 shot on... keep in mind its a cobra so i have a cobra intake and gt-40 heads.... i also have 24#ers.... and i put in a fuel regulator and a 255lph fuel pump

also i need some advice on drag radials... im looking for a street raidal when the tires on my new rims are worn out... there are 18X10 in the bak so its a pretty big rim.... also i was think sum strange shocks and struts with a nice loweing spring cuz it sites kinda high

A common tire for the 18x10 wheel is the BFGoodrich DR, you can get them in 295-35-18 and probably more common is the 315/30-18.

i heard those are pricy and they dont last that long at all... even for a dr i heard they go quick and there hook is only minimally better than the nittos... thats just what i hear tho... ill check em our tho


i would love user experience or at least if u have a friend or have drove a friends car with them on it.... the nittos have r different ones... NT555r NT555rII and NT01... which would u all recommand if i went nitto... ill check out BFG but i am not finding 18 on ne MTs
